🎙️ Snack Attack: Millennial Food Trauma & Nutrition Glow-Ups
Hosted by Carissa | Apocalypse & Avocados
If you ever ate a rice cake and called it dinner, this one’s for you.
In this episode, we dive fork-first into the chaotic world of millennial food trauma, unpacking the diet culture disasters we grew up with (SlimFast, we’re looking at you), and the glow-ups we’re embracing now. From fat-free lies to protein pancakes, we explore what “healthy” even means in 2025—especially when you're queer, burnt out, and just trying to eat something that doesn’t trigger a flashback.
Expect chaotic snack confessions, nostalgic rants, and a game of Snack or Scam that may ruin your next grocery run. Bonus: Carissa spills her no-BS take on wellness trends, food guilt, and why some “health” influencers need to be stopped.
In this episode:
🥣 Fat-free food trauma & the 100-calorie curse
💪 The queer relationship with food, body image & identity
🍬 Snacks we love, snacks that lied to us
🎮 Game: Snack or Scam? (Bone broth popsicles, anyone?)
🛑 Why wellness culture is just rebranded restriction sometimes
💚 Healing through food without the toxic vibes
Grab a snack (preferably not a kale chip), press play, and let’s digest the chaos together.
