View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?
They say “it’s not ‘sins’ it’s ‘*syns”, which is short for synergies which just basically means how many calories it’s got in it…” I find that bit so false. Applying moral language to food creates disordered eating at worst and poor relationship with food at best IMO

They used to straight up call them "sins" back in the 90's, changing the spelling is fairly recent and mostly because they were getting heat for the moralising.
