As women, our culture is pervasive with practically impossible physical and emotional stereotypes that we must fulfill–or else. Or else we get caught up in the never-ending game of diets (even if we are perfectly healthy) and superfluous beautification.

All around us we see stick-thin models and actresses who are endlessly tweaked, trained, airbrushed and photo-shopped to utter perfection. It drives even the most secure of us to body image insecurities. In turn, food becomes the enemy.

Here’s the thing: Food is not the enemy. Food–whether eaten for nutrition or for pleasure–is necessary sustenance to keep our hair, skin, bodies, and psyches healthy.
