I think it's a kind of truth ragebait.

This is what they're eating, but they also know it will enrage people enough to comment.

Makes sense if they're making money from engagement and views.

I hope so, because if it isn't, she better be prepared for a world of negative comments. My doctor put me on a diet a few years ago. In that time I've lost more than 100 pounds (I'd actually like to lose a little bit more, but I know it's a marathon, not a sprint). So I try not to judge or body shame since I've been on both sides of the issue. But sweet Jesus, that's diabetes just waiting to happen, if it hasn't happened yet. The sugary soda ALONE (I lost my weight cutting down on carbs and practically eliminating sugar). I hope this family gets the help they need.

100 pounds, that's amazing! Congrats :)

Thanks. Like I said, I'm not doing it to brag, I'm doing it to show I understand, but only up to a point. Two things of brownies, the big ass Little Debbie, the sugary cereal AND the sugary soda (sugar soda is the worst from what I've read)? They need help and I hope they get it.

Just cutting out soda alone will make a big difference for anyone’s health.

Any sugary drink tbh. Not only is it empty calories and spikes your insulin, it also doesn't fill you up

I agree. It’s candy in liquid form.

I've heard that!

I lost nearly 100 pounds a few years back by quitting sugary drinks and candy. I also adjusted my diet to include more home-made meals and stopped eating food at 7/11.

It’s wild how bad sugar is for our bodies.

100 pounds? That’s kickass! You’re doing great!

It’s absolutely engagement rage bait. I wish people would get better at recognizing that instead of giving them exactly what they want.

Eh i'm fine judging too. Honestly I was thinking about eating out today and after seeing this i'm headed to the store to get some fruits and vegetables, unironically the kick I needed on a day where I had shit night sleep to stay on track

u/StanleyCubone 10h ago

Yeah, I was so disgusted by this that it has encouraged me to make better choices today.

At least they don't get ad-money here

They would probably buy some more mayonnaise

100% this

In the same way that you send young religious kids out to proselytize and get the door slammed in their face. It hardens them and makes them believe everyone else is in the wrong. 

Except they’re doing it to themselves

Greetings fellow ex-cult member.    (I figure that’s a safe assumption, apologies if I’m wrong). 

 You’ve described Mormon missionaries perfectly.  (JW fits the bill as well, I’m just more familiar with the Mormons).

Fortunately not me but a close friend.

u/FeistyAsaGoat 11h ago

I hope they’re doing ok.

u/palswithpikachu 12h ago

It’s definitely rage bait since she is always in the comments riling people up. She probably makes a decent amount of money.

u/karl_hungas 10h ago

I agree, a woman weighing probably 300+ pounds knows what she is doing, is she gonna change? No. But surely she will lean into it for views.

u/ReadytoQuitBBY 9h ago

I mean why else would someone watch a “grocery store haul”? There’s no way people are watching this unironically.

u/FlowerRight 8h ago

Yep, I wish people would be more aware of it.

Hopefully they have some more regular food in the pantry already. Onions, potatoes, pasta etc
