Happy National Cookie Day!!!! On this episode of RIP Diets, I announce some extremely relevant food news, followed by a deep dive on the very problematic one-size-fits-small clothing brand, Brandy Melville! I recount how I started casually buying clothes from this store, and why I am vowing to never buy clothes from them again. Brandy Melville is such a bigoted, racist, fatphobic brand and it cannot be ignored anymore, no matter how much they scratch that 2010s Tumblr Girl itch that we all have inside of us. There aren't enough crop tops in the world to make this kind of toxic behavior fashionable.
