I wouldn't assume you're faking the low wages from your food choices, though! Indian food is not so expensive to make, can be done in bulk, keeps well and has many easily substitutable ingredients, as you describe in your squash curry in this post. The kind of cooking blog where you MUST have this one ingredient and a special machine and it only makes one serving and you can only source it from this one special place...that's wasteful cooking. And I always have an urge to kick people who talk about "clean eating" (which is not the people who have food intolerances.)

But being wary is not surprising. I always feel wary about posting what I'm eating and cooking even with a fairly fat-positive flist/circle just because of the whole "she eats that, no wonder she's fat"/"she says she eats that, but it's so healthy, she must be lying" dichotomy. I know exactly where it comes from (my mum!) but I see it in so many other places that I'm always alert for it, even when I don't want to be.
