Episode 192 Transcript
Elizabeth
So I was born in the prairies of Canada to a Caribbean mother and West African father. Iâm currently Los Angeles based. And Iâm a filmmaker, a food justice organizer and a nonprofit founder.
Virginia
That is a lot of very hard jobs that you have! You sound extremely busy.
Elizabeth
I am. Itâs a lot.
Virginia
Well, weâll start with the film, because thatâs how we first got connected, when you were looking for sponsors for your really incredible film called Me Little Me. It came out in 2022, and it is available to stream on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
You were working on this for quite a long time. It was a the labor of love project for sure.
Elizabeth
Oh my goodness, 100 percent. Itâs based on my own lived experience. So, in 2009 I went to treatment for eating disorder recovery. I went to IOPâan intensive outpatient programâand I was also working full time while I did it.
Being in eating disorder treatment became this kind of double life, and this big secret I had to hide. Because life couldnât stop, you know? And I guess thatâs something that I just never saw portrayed in any mainstream media, film, TV. It was always the person checked into inpatient. They had unlimited resources.
Virginia
Thousands and thousands of dollars per day for treatment.
Elizabeth
And no mention of where this money was coming from. It was just this really nicely packaged perception of what recovery is. And I was just waiting and waiting to see something that had any semblance of what Iâd gone through. And I just couldnât wait anymore! One day, I was like, âOkay, theyâre not doing it. Iâm going to have to be the one to make it.â And thatâs what I did.
Like you said, it was a labor of love. This is an indie film, 100 percent. We didnât have a studio backing us or anything like that. I just literally went to as many organizations as I could, and was like, âLook, Iâm trying to make this. Can we have some money?â And it took a long time.
We started shooting maybe the end of 2018 and 2019, before the pandemic. We started shooting principal photography, just getting the shots in. We ran out of money multiple times. There were so many challenges. So when I reached out to you, I was looking for finishing funds.
I took a shot and submitted to South by Southwest as my work in progress. That means the sound wasnât done, the color wasnât finalized. It was 2021, by this time. And I was like, âYou know what? Iâm just going to shoot my shot and say I did it.â I was 100 percent sure nothing was going to come of it. But just to say that I did it. So end of 2021 I submitted and January 2022 is when they told me we were accepted. Still, I have to remind myselfâIâm like, Oh my gosh, that happened.
Virginia
Yeah, you did it! You did the thing.
Elizabeth
I did the thing! And then there were a whole bunch of other expenses that came with that. They needed a digital cinema package as a way to show the movie professionally, which was like a minimum $1500+. Plus, it still wasnât finished. So I just needed someone to do a quick color and sound pass. Because, my God, I couldnât just show the the work in progress. So we just did a quick, rough color and sound pass. And I had to hire someone to do that.
I was grasping at straws. So when I reached out to you, I was just like, âThis is whatâs happening. This is what the my need is. Any help would be so so appreciated,â and you were like, absolutely, letâs do this.
Virginia
The story really resonated with me. As a journalist whoâs written about eating disorder recovery for two decades now, Iâm very aware of that mainstream narrative that you were talking about and just how many people it doesnât represent. There is this whole eating disorder industrial complex thatâs built to sell a certain kind of recovery and center a certain thin, white girl narrative.
And it just perpetually frustrates me, because everybody I know, whether personally in my own life, or people Iâve interviewed for work who has gone through recovery, is like, âYeah, it doesnât look anything like that.â
Elizabeth
Nope. Not even a little bit.
Virginia
And weâre doing such a disservice to people! So the fact that you were going to tell this much more complex story, centering a Black womanâI was like, yes, thank you so much.
Elizabeth
What you described is what I was up against, just this, all of those things. Trying to sell that story to the public, and if thatâs all people are offered, thatâs thatâs what they think the reality is.
Virginia
And then that just pushes recovery so much further out of reach for people who wouldnât have access to that kind of treatment. Meaning the expensive inpatient treatment options, which also arenât even necessarily the best treatment! It doesnât work for everybody! Okay. We could have a whole other show about that.
Elizabeth
We really could.
Virginia
The point is, the filmâs incredible. Itâs out. I want everyone to go stream it now that they can.
And what we really want to talk about today is how working on that film then led you to launch the Me Little Me Foundation.
Elizabeth
While I was working on finishing the film, it was the middle of the pandemic. It was a hard time. The racial uprisings were happening all around us, and almost everyone I knew was traumatized by the world they were witnessing. And that combination â There was so much need, and people in my community and people I didnât know, people online were like. âI need resources, I need assistance, but I donât know where to turn.â It was too much to just ignore, you know?
So that the subject matter of the film, plus the world that was happening at the timeâI just knew there needed to be something in place that was different than the current resources out there.
So I came up with the idea for a virtual food pantry where folks are approved up to a certain amount. They make a list of what they need. I shop for them online from a local grocery store that offers delivery, and the groceries are shipped to them for free.
So you donât need to have a vehicle, you donât need to live in the correct zip code to get to the food pantryâbecause thatâs a thing. And you also get to choose how you want to nourish yourself, because that was important to me, too. Because thereâs dignity in being able to choose.
Virginia
Yes, and not just being handed a bag of food like, âThis is what you get.â
Elizabeth
Yeah. âBe grateful, now move along.â
So I wanted to help with the trauma, and the lack of resources. Cultural needs arenât taken into account at any food pantry Iâve ever used. Iâve been to so many pantries in my life, and itâs a lot of white foods. Like, I donât know how else to describe them.
And when youâre having mental health issues because of trauma, because of the world around us, for whatever reason, just because youâre struggling to make it, your cultural foods can be so comforting. They can just be so so comforting, and just what you need. And I just wanted to take that into consideration. So thatâs why I set it up the way I did, where folks tell me what they need, and thatâs what they get.
Virginia
Thereâs such dignity in that, and empowerment for people. I think about the power of choice all the time, even just at the level of feeding my own kids. The idea that I would know what someone else needs to eat on any given day seems wild? I donât know what youâre hungry for! I donât know what what you need right now. You know what you need right now. The fact that so many of our aid systems are not set up to honor that is a huge problem. So I love that you built that into into how youâre doing this.
Youâre focusing on folks of color who need assistance, and youâre also focusing on folks in eating disorder recovery.
Elizabeth
Yeah, so basically folks who hold multiple marginalized identities are really who we serve the most. Thatâs just how it honestly just started happening because of the people Iâm connected with onlin,e and the places I was advertising this pantry.
So many folks in recovery struggle with food security. Because the recovery models we were talking about earlier really emphasize âYou need to always have food available.â You need to have snacks. So Recovery has been hard for them because that. Recovery has been hard for me because of that. I donât always have a cupboard full of snacks and multiple choices even though thatâs something in recovery that weâre told to do. Iâm laughing because they say, âJust make sure you fill your pantry.â Like everyone has a pantry! Theyâre like, âfill your pantry with all the food you can.â
Virginia
First, we need to get a pantry.
Elizabeth
Number one.
Virginia
When does that get delivered?
Elizabeth
Exactly! So there are so many people in the recovery community telling us, âOh my goodness, this is what I needed. Like, thank you so much. Itâs impossible to keep myself nourished without this assistance, this has been amazing.â
Coming from that world, I couldnât have asked for a better outcome. Itâs beyond hard to recover in this world weâre living in without assistance. So maybe 65 percent of who we serve are actively in recovery or currently have an eating disorder.
And there is also a large population of folks with disabilities. People who are mobility impaired, or even young people and youth who donât have a car to get somewhere. There are so many folks with multiple marginalized identities who rely on us. Itâs beyond what I even thought.
Virginia
Are you focusing on a particular geographic area?
Elizabeth
Good question. Itâs nationwide. Because itâs virtualâthatâs another thing I wanted to not be a barrier. If you can apply online, if you have access to computer at workâIâm trying for accessibility purposes to have another way to apply as well, but as of now, you apply online, and you can be anywhere. As long as you live somewhere that has a local grocery store that delivers, then you can use our services.
Virginia
Thatâs really, really great.
So as youâre working in this food justice space⌠what youâre doing is meeting an immediate critical need. People need to eat today. People are working on their recovery, they need access to food. And the reason this need is so dire is because of many larger structural failings in our systems. So how do you think about like, âOkay, Iâm trying to put out this immediate fire. But we need so much larger change as well.â
How do you kind of hold that together?
Elizabeth
Sometimes it does make me sad, because Iâm like, âOh, is this just a band aid for something systemic.â But I believe that what weâre doing can eventually be just the way folks are given the resources they need. It doesnât need to be what weâve always had. Why canât you just pick? Why does it have to be food that might not be good anymore? Expiring, not fresh, food thatâs offered? Why is that the only thing that weâre saying is acceptable?
So Iâm really trying to get the word out that, hey, weâre doing something thatâs working. And yes, itâs for folks who are facing food insecurity now but you know, all these organizations that have these elaborate setups where theyâre pre-boxing things, you can do it a different way.
Virginia
So youâre creating a new model that hopefully other organizations will replicate.
Elizabeth
Absolutely.
Virginia
As your organization continues to grow, this is something you can scale up, because of the way youâve designed it. Youâre helping connect people to their local grocery store. This isnât you needing to build some whole infrastructure of warehouses, right?
Elizabeth
Exactly. Thatâs eliminated. We donât have to pay rents to store a bunch of boxed items. I donât think people are looking at things like that with the current systems that are in place.
Virginia
And obviously, it would be amazing if programs like SNAP and welfare were providing more resources for folks. But given the current political climate, weâre going to be lucky to hold onto any social safety net we have left.
Elizabeth
Like, any. And thatâs the same how I was saying earlier. Like, middle of pandemic, people were just so traumatized. People were just kind of numb. And like, âI donât know what to do, I need food to eat, though.â Iâm seeing it now again, like this year the same. Iâm like, whoa. This is history repeating.
Virginia
I think people are feeling a lot of the same panic, embarrassment, and uncertainty about whatâs happening next. Everything is feeling extremely unstable.
Elizabeth
Absolutely.
Virginia
So making sure people have a way to feed themselves todayâitâs something we can do. There is all this bigger change that needs to happen, and we can contribute to that however we can. But this kind of direct aid to people getting fed today is something that we can do, and really is crucial right now. We canât do the rest if people arenât eating. This is the starting point.
I mean, Iâve worked on pieces about childhood hunger over the years, and I know youâre focusing more on adults, but it blows my mind how often organizations that work on hunger have to show research to convince people that kids canât learn if theyâre hungry. And itâs just like, why did we need to have to do a study? Why did you need data?
Elizabeth
Yes, they need to see the numbers. Itâs fascinating to me. When I tell folks stuff based on my lived experience of going to pantries, not having enough, or not having access in the area. Theyâre like, âOh, okay, we just need you to type that all up, and we need to see where you got that data.â And Iâm just likeâŚwhere I got that data? From my life! And so many people I know! That blows my mind, the amount of data folks are requesting when it comes to food insecurity.
Virginia
We shouldnât have to explain it or justify it. It should just be obvious that people need enough food to eat. Thatâs the baseline.
So Burnt Toast, we have a mission!
Our goal is to raise $6,000 by June 1 for the Me Little Me Foundation to support the virtual free food pantry project.
When we reach that $6,000 goal, Burnt Toast (the newsletter and podcast) will match that with another $6,000. So we have a chance to raise $12,000 for Me Little Me to help them make a big push on this work.
Elizabeth, tell us a little bit about what those funds will mean for your organization. What are we going to help you do? And then, of course, what do folks need to do to donate?
Elizabeth
Oh, my goodness. It would just help us so immensely. Just to break it down:
$100 worth of groceries means folks can make a minimum of 20 home cooked meals. So if we raise $6,000 thatâs literally 1200 home cooked meals that we could provide.
Virginia
Thatâs awesome.
Elizabeth
It would help us so much, because we always have more applications than the resources. Itâs crushing. Applications will be open for 24 hours and we have to shut them down because weâre just so overwhelmed. And say, âIâm so sorry. Please try back next quarter.â Iâm trying to raise more money. Iâm not going to let you all down.
So it would help us immensely. Iâm trying to play it cool. This is my cool and collected voice, but Iâm sort of squealing inside.
Virginia
Well, I think what youâre doing is so important. And we have over 65,000 people on the Burnt Toast list! This is not a big ask for anyone. A few bucks will cover one of these meals that weâre trying to raise money for. If you have 100 bucks, great! Thatâs 20 meals youâve covered.
This is the kind of community effort that is giving me hope right now, thatâs making me feel like the entire worldâs not falling off a cliff. We can get this done. And I think actually, we can exceed this goal.
The second piece of our challenge is: If youâre able, please become a monthly donor!
Whether thatâs $5 a month or $100 a monthâwhich would buy 20 meals a month! Do it!
We are setting a goal to add 25 new recurring donors to the Me Little Me rosters. Burnt Toast is already a recurring donor, but we want 25 of you to sign up to be a recurring donors, too. So take whatever gift you were going to give and divide it by 12; break it up monthly and donate that. Because recurring donations are really critical to organizations like this. Elizabeth, you can speak a little bit to why that matters so much.
Elizabeth
Because the need is ongoing. Weâre inundated every time we open the pantry, and the recurring donations will help us reach our ultimate goal of being able to see real systemic change and have this just be something thatâs in place. So of course, yes, please if youâre able to just give a few dollars we would love that. But if you can support us on a monthly basis in any capacity, itâll just be such a big weight off of the shoulders of so many folks who rely on these services.
Virginia
Recurring donations help nonprofits plan. Itâs money they can rely on and actually look ahead and not just be scrambling.
Elizabeth
Scrambleâthatâs the perfect word. I get a little stressed every time we open the pantry.
Virginia
Well, I am really excited. I really appreciate you reaching out and giving us this opportunity to support what youâre doing. I think itâs so meaningful and so important. And, Burnt Toast, letâs get it done.

Butter
Elizabeth
Something I discovered, I think by accident, is painting on burlapâlike the material that they make sacks out of. Itâs so random. They sell it at craft stores. And there was just some on sale. So I have just regular paints at home from ages ago that I just didnât want to throw away. And, yeah, I just started. I stuck some burlap on a piece of wood, and just started painting it. And it just was so soothing. Just the surface of it, the texture, just painting over the burlap. And I was like, oh my gosh. Do people know about this?
Virginia
I did not! This is amazing.
Elizabeth
So not painting on canvas, but on burlap material. Even if you make a mistake, it still looks nice.
Virginia
What kind of paint are you using?
Elizabeth
It was literally paint that you would get at a hardware store, like if you were painting a wall in your house. They have specific fabric paintâbecause Iâm going down a rabbit hole with it nowâbut that works just fine. Like, if you go to a hardware store and get a sample size, thatâs what I had. I had a bunch of little samples. so I just started painting words on the burlap and making little gift things. And it was just so soothing. So thatâs just a really random activity.
Virginia
Thatâs a great Butter. Thank you. Iâve been noticing a little trend with guests lately, where a lot of the Butters are people are really drawn to something that gets them off their phone, off the computer, kind of like an absorbing project. Absorbing projects have been a trend in butters, and I am a big fan. Iâm a big jigsaw puzzle person and gardener. Like these tactile things that get us out of our heads a little bit are just great.
Elizabeth
Oh, wonderful. Oh, Iâm so glad to hear that.
Virginia
My Butter is going to be somewhat related, and itâs a repeat Butter. Iâve recommended it before, but we have this great bird feeder. Itâs called the Bird Buddy, and it has a camera in it, so it takes pictures of the birds for you and sends them to your phone. Itâs not cheap, but they do go on sale from time to time. I will link to it.
But anyway, we moved the feeders to a new part of the garden, and we hung up our hummingbird feeder and another type of feederâand just all of the birds that are coming now are making me so happy.
Elizabeth
I can imagine!
Virginia
Iâm That Mom now. Iâm like, âGuys, there are more goldfinches! Have you seen the goldfinches??â And one of my kids loves birds, and one of them doesnât care. So Iâm being a little excessive, and theyâre like, okay, yes, we see.
But I think itâs the same thing of â Iâm needing beauty thatâs not in the Internet. Thatâs taking me away. And theyâre so soothing to watch. So bird feeders, specifically, the camera one is really fun, but bird feeders in general, is my Butter today.
Elizabeth
Oh, now I want to see the photos of the birds.
Virginia
Oh, Iâll send you some. Itâs pretty exciting.
Elizabeth, thank you so much. Letâs just remind everyone again, how to support you, how to donate to Me Little Me.
Elizabeth
You can go to MeLittleMeFoundation.org and thereâs a donate page where you can make a one time donation or become a recurring donor.

Episode 191 Transcript
Virginia
Okay, for anyone who missed her last visit: Bri is a licensed professional counselor and body image coach who works with folks recovering from eating disorders and finding body acceptance through grief. She joined me on the podcast back in February to talk about her work and her experiences dating in a superfat body, and you all loved that conversation so much.
We have asked Bri to join us again, this time to help Corinne and I answer your questions. So welcome Bri!
Bri
Thank you so much for having me back. What an honor.
Virginia
Well we have some very spicy questions to discuss today. I hope youâre feeling ready.
Bri
Iâm so ready.
Corinne
In todayâs episode, weâre going to talk very practically about the mechanics of fat sex. Some of the questions are pretty graphic, so you might not want to listen to this one with kids around. You may not even want to listen with friends around!
!!! And if youâre related to anyone who is on the podcast today, you may not want to listen to this episode!!!
Virginia
I would say, you are strongly encouraged to skip this one, actually.
Corinne
Moms, siblings.
Virginia
Dads, brothers, whatever. More content for you is coming. This one isnât it.
Bri
We appreciate the support.
Corinne
Okay, hereâs question number one:
My cis male partner and I (a cis female) have been together eight years. We have both gained belly weight in that time, and now missionary is tricky, especially if I need to use a hand to stimulate my clit. Plus, itâs harder for him to get as deep with bellies in the way. Weâve tried, him standing/me on the edge of the bed, him kneeling, and my hips up and other variations. Iâve been thinking about a wedge pillow, but that definitely takes the spontaneity out of it. Any tips?
Bri
I mean, Iâll dive right in.

Today, my guest is Jessica Slice, a disabled mom and author of the brilliant new book, Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World.
Jessica is also the co-author of Dateable: Swiping Right, Hooking Up, and Settling Down While Chronically Ill and Disabled, and This Is How We Play: A Celebration of Disability and Adaptation, as well as the forthcoming This Is How We Talk and We Belong. She has been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Alice Wongâs bestselling Disability Visibility and more.
As Jessica puts it, she originally wrote this book for disabled parents because their stories are not told or centered. But Jessica soon realized she was writing a book for all parents, because becoming a parent is its own kind of experience with disability.
There are so many important intersections between disability, justice and fat liberation. One that I think about a lot is how both groups come up against the question: Donât we owe it to our kids to be healthy? Jessicaâs perspective on these issues is expansive, inclusive and enlightening. I know you will get so much out of this conversation and from reading unfit parent.
You can take 10 percent off Unfit Parent, or any book we talk about on the podcast, if you order it from the Burnt Toast Bookshop, along with a copy of Fat Talk! (This also applies if youâve previously bought Fat Talk from them. Just use the code FATTALK at checkout.)

There has been so much conversation in online spaces over the past few months about divesting from social media. Folks are dropping X, Facebook, Instagram as a form of protest against billionaire tech bros like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. And a lot of us are also feeling the need to doom scroll less as a form of self care. Plus, when Tiktok drops a new Chubby filter, it doesnât really make us want to be there.
So today weâre chatting about how weâre both feeling about social media. What are we divesting from? Howâs it going? And does any of this feel like a diet?

âď¸ How to handle medically-advised diets without gettingâŚdiet-y.
âď¸Our favorite leggings (we stand by all these recs!)
âď¸Dealing with haters⌠and more!
To hear the full story, youâll need to be a paid Burnt Toast subscriber. Subscriptions are $7 per month or $70 for the year.

Todayâs episode is a rerun; weâre bringing you episode 100, which ran in June 2023âsuch a simpler time! But we had a really valuable conversation about how to talk to kids about body changes, especially if youâre losing weight on Ozempic and we thought it might be a helpful one to revisit now. Plus there is our usual smattering of assorted random Indulgence Gospel topics. And dahlias! Enjoy.

âď¸ The Dr. Becky mantra that Virginia usesâŚoften.
âď¸Why you donât need to cook dinner for your kids at 3pm.
âď¸ The infamous âschool nurse callâ post.

AndâŚdid Virginia really get divorced over butter?

Youâre listening to Burnt Toast!
Iâm Virginia Sole-Smith, and today my guest is Amy Palanjian.
Amy is my work wife and best friend of over 20 years. Sheâs also the creator of Yummy Toddler Food and author of the nationally bestselling cookbook Dinnertime SOS: 100 Sanity-Saving Meals Parents and Kids of All Ages Will Actually Want to Eat.
Amy joined me last month at Split Rock Books to celebrate the launch of FAT TALK in paperback. They also host the Burnt Toast Bookshop for us, and are forever the place to get my books signed and personalized however you like!
So we talked about the book, of course, but we also got into how family dinners have changed for us post-divorce, why cooking with kids is terrible, and then Amy outed my (not so) secret love of protein powder. đ
(Bear with some imperfect audio, since we werenât recording with our usual set-up â but Tommy worked his magic as usual so itâs still highly listen-to-able!)

Today Virginia is chatting with Brianna Campos.
Bri is a licensed professional counselor and body image coach who works with folks recovering from eating disorders, and finding body acceptance through grief. You may know Bri from Instagram, or from her newsletter, Body Image with Bri.
Bri and I talk about why this concept of body grief is so importantâand yet so often overlooked in this work. And she shares how doing her own body grief work has led her to have a happier relationship with her body and to start dating againâconfidently and with a lot of joy as a superfat person.

Hi Burnt Toasties!
Weâre resending Thursdayâs podcast episode because we had a little mix up: Our deep dive into Mel Robbinsâ Cult of High Fives was supposed to be Februaryâs Extra Butter episodeâbut it ran with an invitation to subscribe at the regular paid level to access it. Which a bunch of you did, and then were understandably confused when you still couldnât listen!!
This was totally our goof. So to make it right, weâre re-releasing the episode today for ALL paid subscribers!
If you have yet to go paidâthat means you can now access one of our premium episodes for as little as $7 today.
If youâre already a paid subscriber â thank you! Enjoy!
Weâre hoping, of course, that youâll love this chat about our buddy Mel so much that youâll still consider upgrading from regular paid to Extra Butter. EB is our premium tier, which means you get access to what is usually our juiciest podcast episode of the month, like dating while fat, why all the fat influencers are getting skinny, andâŚdid Virginia really get divorced over butter?
Extra Butters also get exclusive weekly chats, DM access, and a monthly bonus essay or thread. And these subscriptions ensure that the Burnt Toast community can always stay an ad- and sponsor-free spaceâwhich is crucial for body liberation journalism.
Whatever youâve paid towards your regular paid membership will be put towards the upgrade â so you wonât pay the full $99 fee. Join us here!
But no matter which subscription tier is right for youâthank you so much for supporting Burnt Toast!

Today Virginia is chatting with Helen Rosner.
Helen is a staff writer at The New Yorker. She has been covering food for more than a decade as a writer and editor, and won a 2024 James Beard Award for her weekly restaurant-review column, The Food Scene. She is an expert on sandwiches and many other important subjects.
And I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Helen last month at Books Are Magic in Brooklyn (hi Emma Straub thank you so much for having us!!), at a live event to celebrate the paperback release of Fat Talk. (They should still have a few signed copies in stock if you need one!)
We talked about the book, of course, but we talked about so many other fat- and food-adjacent topics, that I knew I wanted to bring it to you as a podcast episode.
(Bear with some imperfect audio, since we werenât recording with our usual set-up â but Tommy worked his magic as usual so itâs still highly listen-to-able!)

Today Virginia is chatting with Frankie De La Cretaz.
Frankie is an award-winning journalist whose work sits at the intersection of sports, gender and culture. They are the co-author of Hail Mary, the rise and fall of the National Womenâs Football League, and their writing has been featured in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, The Atlantic and more.
Frankie also writes Out of Your League, a newsletter about queer sports and pop culture, which I consider a must-subscribe. If you have been remotely following the issues of trans women in sports, you likely already know how well Frankie calls out that bias and discrimination. As Frankie points out, the way bodies are policed and controlled in the sports world is really just a microcosm of how the bodies of queer, trans, and otherwise marginalized folks are being policed and controlled throughout our culture right now.
So even if you think you donât care about sports, I promise youâll care about this conversation.
