Don’t let the diet demon adverts on sale get you and make you feel guilty for enjoying the MASSIVE privilege of enjoying food that you’re lucky to have, with loved ones who you’re lucky to still have here when so many are losing theirs right in front of our eyes.”

“Life is short. Pie is fantastic. Make the right choice,” she noted. “Live. Laugh. Eat. Fart.”
