MODERATORS
I never buy food that is unhealthy for me... but part of how I measure health is mental health. Something that's modestly unhealthy for my body but enjoyable (like sweetened chocolate) is, on the balance, healthy for me as long as it's in moderation.
Yup. Healthy is such a funny term. Kings Hawaiian rolls certainly aren't a super nutritional food, but the dopamine hit I got from enjoying 3 last night brought me back after managing my partner's mental breakdown, and also helped me fall immediately to sleep. Which is less healthy for me: chronic poor sleep and stress or 3 sweet delicious pieces of bread?
