Except the author didn't call actual healthy eating classist/racist, nor did he promote the consumption of junk food. It was argued that the use of the label "clean" was classist/racist, and that pursuing it alone is pointless because science.
I think the maxim "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism" whether true or not is useful here
Agreed. I'm surprised at the support for this article...
I somehow got downvoted for saying that growing one's own food is a great alternative to the narrow perspective the article is pushing.
Junk food is being marketed at poor uneducated people. Yes! That is even more reason to fight it, not find escuses to indulge in it. And if you are really into social justice and the like, that yoga guy and the whole white middle class is not the enemy of the poor black guys. They are not the owners of junk food mega corporations, nor do they pass laws to subsidize corn syrup.
If you want to "stick it to the man" stop buying his horrible products.
"Fuck you white middle class yoga guy, I'm eating all the Nestle shit I can find, take that!" - how dumb is this?
