Tips for dealing with fatty and sugary foods this holiday season
1. Eat it
2. Eat it all
3. It’s the season of pumpkin and cranberry and peppermint everything
4. Fuck the magazines that try and guilt you with the “Christmas 8” or whatever they’ve made up
5. And fuck anyone who chirps at you and asks “do you REALLY need that second helping of green bean casserole?”
6. Oh and cupcakes make a great cheap/last minute gift for any occasion (you can even make them vegan!) (Check out Fierce Freethinking Fatties for a great vegan cupcake recipe!)
Congratulations you have all the tools you need to deal with holiday food this year.

I'd like to amend those two first ones: 1) Eat it - if you want to and 2) Eat it all - if you want to.
Don't try to prove a point at the expense of forcing your body to eat something it doesn't want.
It's meant to be tongue in cheek, if you'll pardon the pun. Obviously I don't advocate for anyone to eat anything they don't want too, in quantities that they don't want too.
