Hear me out. There’s nothing innate to an object that makes it “food”. It’s an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that’s edible “food”. Does that make it a social construct?
I agree that the pile-on wasn’t necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.
explain better? I don’t wanna lecture. I wanna talk. we figure it out together. that’s what we do together, as a community, instead of telling people off, like here! definitely got some easy new names for my block list though.
Imagine being trans though, holy shit, I don’t envy having to do this regularly…
