In this episode, Emily introduces some new terminology to help reframe our relationship with food preparation. She explains the difference between "convenience foods" (foods that are quick and easy to prepare, like packaged foods or restaurant meals) and "labor intensive foods" (foods that require more time and effort to make from scratch).
Emily encourages listeners to let go of diet culture messaging that convenience foods are "bad" while labor intensive foods are "good." In reality, both types of foods can be nutrient-dense or "fun foods." There's no need to feel guilty about relying on convenience foods, especially during busy or stressful times.
Emily shares a personal story about leaning heavily on convenience foods while her father was in the hospital recovering from a stroke. She expresses gratitude that ready-made options were available so she could spend more time supporting her dad.
The key takeaway is to release shame around food preparation and find the right individual balance between convenience and cooking. Ultimately, nourishing yourself in a way that fits your lifestyle is most important.
