This week, Odd and Rags talk to Black Eyed Betty, a long time Roller Derby player. Betty has Sensory Processing Disorder, a condition symptomatic of desiring or adverting from sensory experiences. Betty also recently went through treatment for an eating disorder. By being honest and thoughtful, Betty helps break down the stigmas surrounding people with sensory processing issues and eating disorders. It's a delightful interview about heavy subjects, that might make you feel better your own relationship with textures, sounds, and feelings.

This week, Rags and Odd have a guest for the Don't Get Me Started segment. It's Black Eyed Betty! They all cover "diet talk" and how putting calories on everything can be a trigger for people with eating disorders, not to mention the frequency to which people comment on how many calories something is or being good on their diet. It's exhausting! Food is energy, people. Just love what you eat and stop shaming people for their bodies!

Anyway, there's plenty to learn about being better about how we think about food. Everyone rants for min, then gives ideas on how to be better food thinkers.
