Zachary Pace interviewed me for BOMB Magazine! I got to talk about the language of fatness, my earliest memories of it, eating together as a practice of love & lots more. ❤
“The people I most enjoy eating with are people who also find great joy in food….when I can openly appreciate the food, it’s the most wonderful thing in life. That being said, food is also—usually after an exquisite feast—a source of tension. Often with an eating disorder, you weaponize food against yourself. But I try to retain the memories of food joy as much as possible. When I think about people I love, I picture them during the best meals we’ve shared together.”
Hi Samantha, just thought I would let you know that I am featuring this article as part of INKSPILL 2018 – an annual online writing retreat I run from my blog during the last weekend of October. https://awritersfountain.wordpress.com/inkspill/
