Hot take: White dietitians who endorse the Mediterranean Diet are '[upholding] white supremacy'

According to her Twitter bio, Kathleen Meehan is a “registered dietician nutritionist & certified intuitive eating counselor.” Her preferred pronouns are she/her, if ya nasty.

Weirdly, though, she seems to have left out “crazy person”:

What if dietitians of color also endorse the Mediterranean Diet? Or people of color within or outside of the Mediterranean region follow the Mediterranean Diet? Are they nutritional race traitors?

I’m literally someone who can be classified as Mediterranean, and I can tell you, I’m not white. A lot of us aren’t.

I'm from Lebanon. Olive skin that gets very dark when exposed to the sun. Can I eat the Mediterranean diet? Is it healthy for me? Is it cultural appropriation? Is weight a social construct imposed by white supremacy? It's all so confusing. [I'll retweet.]

Please advise, Kathleen. If olive oil is a tool of white supremacy, we need to know before it’s too late.

How can this be real? https://t.co/UFGuTylnMr

We've reached a point in the dialogue where I have no idea what's parody anymore https://t.co/E7qDRiIYLu

Well, after perusing her Twitter feed, as far as we can tell, she’s very serious about this.

Look at her timeline. She's amazing.

Why embarrass yourself like this?

Keeps her busy?

If this is satire, well played! If it's not, please get help. You need a psychiatrist and probably years of drugs.

This version of the Matrix looks like it was written by a grad student hyped up on cocaine, caffeine and nicotine during finals week.

I think I now completely understand how signing up to this app would slowly tear away my sanity.
