At the moment it feels like energy balls, avocado and quinoa are taking over. The concept of clean eating is taking the food world by storm. But are our minds too obsessed with what we put on our plates?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what is all the fuss about?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In modern society, our relationship with food has become a complicated one. With both obesity and eating disorders on the rise, it seems we are struggling more than ever to find the middle ground of what is good and bad for us. But It\u2019s no wonder it is still\u00a0happening. \u00a0Having 5 fruit and veg a day all of a sudden leaps to 10. <\/span>Wine is a sin, but it\u2019s also good to drink a glass a day (my own grandma believes water should only be used to wash your hair – and she\u2019s in her 80s!).<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet as a result of this happening it seems that judging one another\u2019s eating habits is also occurring more and more. If you aren\u2019t an avocado eating, wellness junky you are fat-shamed, and if you are the prior you\u2019re probably vegan-shamed, whether you are one or not!<\/span><\/p>\n

To put it plainly food-shaming is criticising someone for eating something that doesn\u2019t match their own definition of good food. Yet the shame game keeps growing, and not in the way you’d expect. Instead of being towards those eating a triple cheeseburger every day for lunch, that sort of shaming has been and gone. Instead, it\u2019s the shame that your smashed avocado on rye bread toast and spinach, spirulina, kale, and cucumber green sludge of a smoothie is putting everyone else off in the office, and doesn\u2019t look as wholesome and \u2018dreamy\u2019 as Deliciously Ella\u2019s did on her Snapchat story that morning. The clean eating world is certainly setting the bar high when it comes to standards.\u00a0Perhaps so high that when someone achieves them we shame them for this, and ourselves for not being able to resist that last\u00a0<\/span><\/span>doughnut.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Creator of Deliciously Stella, Bella Younger, \u00a0believes that the clean eating trend is going too far and isn\u2019t improving self-love. Her parody version is not a malicious attempt to shame the stars successfully living this way. \u00a0Instead, it shames the clean eating revolution itself and how quickly social media users are conforming to simply accept these new dietary expectations.<\/p>\n

Many celebrity chefs including Heston Blumenthal and Nigella Lawson have also exclaimed their disgust for the clean eating food revolution. Lawson said <\/span>\u201cI think behind the notion of \u2018clean eating\u2019 is an implication that any other form of eating is dirty or shameful\u201d during an interview with the Independent (October 2015)<\/a>.<\/span> Showing that even though the diet\u2019s ideology is positive and aims for good outcomes,\u00a0it\u2019s causing shame itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh and by the way I\u2019m not even joking with the title of this post\u2026 there are 5,049,557<\/strong> hashtags of avocado on Instagram at this current moment in time (4:15 pm) and I\u2019m sure that number will creep up at breakfast time tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
