Minority has commonly meant two things, not just in regards to the actual size of a population, but rather the power that they hold. So for example women are technically the majority of most populations (51% to 49%) but they hold a minority of power. That's commonly what's meant when referring to people being a minority.

thanks so much for explaining a concept I definitely didn't know anything about lololol. anywayssss I know that people have used it incorrectly and euphemistically. but I and many other """"minorities"""" take issue with it for a variety of reasons, including the fact that there are more accurate and descriptive terms like "marginalized," "oppressed" etc. I said what I said lol.

Agreed, I like the term “minority”…. I use it to describe myself as an ethnic minority member (in the US and elsewhere). Language evolves and changes over time. I don’t like the term “oppressed” - I find it to be patronizing, but ultimately Audrey and Michael are free to use whichever terms feel best to them.

Can we stop referring to any kind of food as “junk”? That sounds like diet culture propaganda to me.

I have diabetes and the fact that in that first story they say that there would be x% fewer cases of diabetes based on people's shopping habits is so bananas and reductive. Diabetes is such a complex disease and there are a huge number of factors that we *think* can cause onset, including genetics (the biggest one), stress levels, environmental factors, etc.

Funny story — I came out to my mom a few years ago and while she’s trying to understand and accept gay people, she has had trouble. After some discussion, she told me “I think the reason why I have had a thing against gay people is because the only gay person I interact with on a regular basis is that one obnoxious guy at work who always brags about vacations with his boyfriend that his parents pay for.” The guy’s name is Jeff. When I heard the segment at 27:50 I lost my mind — sent the snippet to my mom and she said she’s glad she’s not the only one who’s annoyed by Jeff 😭😭😭 btw things are cool now. My mom has a way to go but she is good at pronouns and regularly goes to local drag shows with me :)

Yorkies are the best!The 'not for girls' advertising was very successful.

I really want to say that my grandmother in law was a fat lady about town and she lived to be 90 and my theory is it was because she was fat right up until she got sick in her 80s

Listening back to this today I realised I have met a fat 90 year old. My great grandmother!

My aunt lived to be 99 and had oscillating between 300-400lbs since she was about 40. I swear her weight helped keep her going that long! She was just a couple months from 100 <3

Marmite is already vegan. Google it.

going to implore Michael to stop using the term "minority" as a replacement/interchangeably with marginalized/oppressed/etc. fat people are the majority of the US pop, non-white people are the majority of the global population, etc. not only is it incorrect, it's a useless diminutive. you'd be more accurate and show less bias by dropping it from your vocab.
