🎙️ 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.

Mental Health—Messy, Memeable, and (Still) Worth Talking About
🧠🌍💬

From Tokyo to Toronto, millennials are losing our collective minds—and this time, it’s not just the algorithm’s fault. In this brutally honest, chaotically comforting episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, the gang (Peter, Shaun, and Carissa) dives deep into the global mental health crisis with stats, spirals, and sarcasm.

We’re talking:

• 🌍 Why mental health isn’t just an American mess
• 💸 Financial anxiety, housing doom, and the global loneliness epidemic
• 📱 Social media as both lifeline and emotional sinkhole
• 🧃 Retail therapy, rage drives, feral cat energy, and yes... masturbation
• 🧘‍♂️ The real (and not-so-Instagrammable) coping tools that actually help

It’s part group therapy, part meme analysis, part “yell-cry into a donut while blasting sad pop”—and all painfully relatable. Whether you’re doomscrolling in Lagos, crying in a London flat, or screaming into your steering wheel in L.A., we see you. And we spiral with you.

TW: Mental health, financial stress, suicidal ideation (mentioned in context)

🎧 Grab your emotional support snacks and let’s get messy, memeable, and real—because no matter where you are, mental health is still worth talking about.

🎧 Hot Girl Walks and Internalized Misogyny
This week, we lace up our sneakers and take a long, emotionally loaded stroll through the twisted world of fitness culture, social media, and—yep—internalized misogyny. From silent cardio competition at the gym to the curated chaos of “Hot Girl Walk” TikToks, we unpack how societal pressure turns wellness into performance, and how influencers, capitalism, and diet culture keep the toxic cycle running.

We dive into the double standards of sexuality, the performative nature of mindfulness trends, and the fine line between empowerment and exhaustion. Also: why “What I Eat in a Day” videos should come with a trigger warning, and how body image has turned into a battleground—one we never signed up for.

Whether you’re power walking with purpose or spiraling in a matching set, this one’s for you.

Takeaways:
– Internalized misogyny thrives in “empowered” spaces.
– Social media is not a mirror—it’s a funhouse.
– Hot girl walks: healing or high-key harmful?
– Diet culture is just capitalism in leggings.
– Self-worth isn’t measured in steps, smoothies, or serotonin levels.

🧠 Chapters include:
– Competition in Fitness Culture
– Gender & Sexual Double Standards
– The ‘Hot Girl Walk’ Phenomenon
– Mindfulness, Capitalism & Diet Culture
– Living for Likes vs. Living in the Moment

So grab your water bottle labeled “Self-Worth” and walk with us—we’ve got thoughts, questions, and just a touch of rage.

Welcome to the courtroom of chaos, where the judge is petty, the jury is hungover, and the only law we follow is vibes. In this episode, the Apocalypse & Avocados crew dives headfirst into the depths of Reddit’s infamous Am I the Asshole (AITA) subreddit—and spoiler alert: everyone kind of sucks.

From a dry wedding where guests had to secretly pay for booze, to a vegan dinner party ambushed by meat-eaters, we’re dissecting messy social dilemmas with our signature blend of sarcasm, honesty, and deeply unsolicited advice. Along the way, we weigh in on sibling jealousy over a dress, a boyfriend’s bizarre stance on period products, and a niece who might just be too honest.

Carissa’s back this week, which means the judgments are sharper, the laughs are louder, and the moral compass is spinning like a fidget spinner in 2016. We wrap things up with a ridiculous round of "AITA or Just Socially Awkward?"—including catnapping, friendship freeloaders, and boundary-blind besties.

🎧 Listen in for:

• Brutal parenting dilemmas (kids say the worst things)
• The ethics of surprise meat
• Why generosity is a double-edged lasagna
• Sound bites like “You’re a bitch” and “You’re a catnapper”
• Zero actual legal advice—but tons of opinions

Because when it comes to the messiness of modern relationships, the real question isn't “Am I the asshole?”—it's “Where do we even begin?”
