#and keep trying

I hate how food sensory issues have become this shield for adults that want their scurvy behaviour to be enabled and celebrated. All of you don't have arfid, autism isn't an excuse not to improve your diet and it's common for kids to not want to eat foods then they get over it.

I've found learning to cook foods I have the most sensory issues with in a way I like has helped to build up my tolerance to that food in general. I'll never enjoy how some foods feel, but I know through trial and error you literally don't have to live this way.

An appropriate alternative to a child refusing food isn't Oreos or chicken nuggets and if it really is arfid or a food intolerance, there's other foods. It's ridiculous the lazy nonsense I see peddled online because adult babies don't want to deal with their sensory issues or their children's sensory issues because they think boundaries and rules are abuse and everyone wants to be this helpless creature.

"When our ancestors lit bonfires at the winter solstice and candles in February, they weren’t only marking a date, they were participating in the outworking of their desire - that the sun would return, that spring would surely come. And we, in our wisdom, can say, but of course the sun returns and spring comes, fires lit or not, candles or not. And that’s right. What’s not right is when we get to a point where we believe that we, as individuals, as communities, can have no impact on the degraded state of the world right now.

Hoping things will change requires active participation. And if folks laugh and say it makes no difference, let them laugh, and carry on with your hope. Hope is not day-dreaming. Hope is not passive. We risk ourselves. Maybe we make fools of ourselves. Hope is not certainty. It is not ‘I want’. It’s bigger than that. And when our unscientific ancestors built their fires and lit their candles to encourage the sun and the light, sure, they had no effect on nature, but a drastic effect on themselves. They had found a ritual to keep them going. They had found hope.

People can live without plenty of things. People can live without love. No-one can live without hope."

Hey guys. Shit is fucked. And maybe you can't change some things. But. You can change some things. Here's maybe. A video to watch and think on.

I used to be the master at perfect microwave popcorn, never burning, and almost no kernels.

Unfortunately it has been many years since having some that when I tried again, I have lost the magic touch.
