🎙️ 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.

This week, we’re stepping way outside our comfort zones—and inviting you to do the same. In this episode, Peter, Shaun, and Carissa drop the filters and dive into the headlines that keep us up at night: Trump’s sweeping new travel ban and its ripple effects on millions of families, the ongoing humanitarian crises in Gaza and Ukraine, and the relentless flood of anxiety-fueling news and social media trends.

We get real about what it means to stay informed without losing your mind, the guilt of tuning out, and the struggle to find hope when every headline feels heavier than the last. From the politics of immigration and the realities of war to viral TikTok trends and the wild world of “wellness” hacks, nothing is off-limits. Expect honest spirals, hard questions, and a few moments of much-needed humor as we unpack how these stories shape our lives—and why talking about them matters.

If you’re ready for a conversation that challenges what you think you know, pulls no punches, and reminds you you’re not alone in the chaos, hit play. This is Apocalypse & Avocados: No comfort zones, no easy answers—just the stories that change everything.
