Great article from a very trusted source in nutrition science.

Public health resources often recommend brown rice instead of white as a ‘healthy swap’. But what if you prefer white rice?

Too often in food and nutrition we fall into the trap of taking advice from slim and beautiful people - because we feel like their advice and choices must be linked their slimness and beautifulness.

I have five degrees in food, nutrition and human health AND I am a chonky lady. I'm not here to sell you on, or justify, my eating habits or my body. I'm not bringing you the next hack, diet, life style change or un-diet. I'm not even here to give advice. The most powerful thing I can do, is share information and perspectives, my qualifications and experience mean I can join different dots, I can share different views and I can challenge biases and the status quo.

I won't apologize or make excuses for my body, it's where I live and I am grateful for all it does.

Haters will say I can't be an expert because I'm chonky, that says more about them than it does about me.

If I was unscrupulous I could starve myself and sell you a diet. I know all the tricks used to shrink and sell. But I won't do it because health is more than weight, life is more than weight, and you are more than what you eat.

My body is not your business and it is not my business plan.
