    Fibromyalgia has entered the chat.

      Another dubious ailment.

      I realized something: if fibromyalgia is a fake disease, you could literally make placebos for it and cure people. I wonder if that’s what the treatment for it is?

    I wonder how much time she spends at the Starbucks drive-thru every week?

    🤔

    I had to look up ARFID. It was a new term to me. This is turning being a picky eater into something to be diagnosed and treated. Or not treated, as the case may be. If she was starving in a third world country without an “In-and-Out” open until past the time she should be asleep, I wonder how much of an ARFID affliction she would have then.

    I can’t even with these people…

      I dunno, Elspeth. As a birthing person, did you ever experience the cravings of people who carry children? I remember reading that morning sickness is caused by normally-OK elements of food being barfed out of the body because they’d harm a growing child in its mother’s womb (and see how rejecting Latin terms like foetus humanizes the whole thing…). They tried to treat morning sickness with Bendectin and caused birth defects; sometimes the systems God gave us weren’t meant to be fooled with.

      So I wouldn’t be surprised if autistic types are particularly picky because they’re experiencing the reaction of their bodies to the same kinds of stressful elements of food that a woman with child experiences.

      But no: In-and-Out Burger isn’t dealing with anything like that.

        Yes, EA. I experienced cravings during the periods when I was incubating life.

        And I have an autistic relative who for years would not eat certain foods. He grew out of the stridency as he moved from a young child to early adulthood because his mother simply kept putting other options in from of him other than rice and chicken. Now he eats everything.

        If an autistic person, who is mid-functioning, not high functioning, can adapt to what he is fed regardless of preferences, surely this relatively normal sounding woman, who is even able to slap a diagnosis on her compulsion, can learn how to eat something other than an In-and-Out burger.

        C’mon. She’s married with kids. This isn’t some severely incapable woman, vaccinated or not.

    Now, now. We so fry the brains and immune systems of children with FAR TOO MANY vaccinations (looking at you, Canada, you bunch of anti-vaxxers with your childhood schedule NOWHERE NEAR what the USA requires) that we cause a lot of problems. Some children’s autism CAN be treated by proper diet.

    However, it’s not crap junk food and cheap carbs from roundup-poisoned wheat that will do it.

      Don’t forget the mass fluoridation programs!

        May 7, 2024 at 3:35 pm

        Does Canada also fluoridate?

        We did. Not sure about now. I was fluoridated.

        Applied to the teeth or directly in the water? The former might actually do some good. the latter? Medicates everybody for the 9-14 year olds who are actually, maybe, benefitted from it.

        Teeth, oral rinses in school. Swish swish! 🙂

        See, that’s actually therapeutic. you don’t poison everyone with fluoride to help preserve the teeth of young people.

    Jeez, I couldn’t listen to more than 30 seconds of her rambling BS.

    So WTF is “ARFID?” Apparently it’s a thing, at least as far as Millennial/Gen Z disorders are concerned:

    https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/eating-disorders/what-is-arfid

    And I, too, call BS. Too many people, especially Millennial and Gen Z women, are inventing disorders to justify their lack of self-control, maturity, and accountability.
