Tasting the problematic rainbow of Kids Eat in Color. Plus: Are baggy, black clothes comfy or fatphobic? It's March Extra Butter!
30

Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark!

It’s time for your March Extra Butter. This month we’re answering a reader question about baggy, black clothes. Then Virginia takes Corinne down a rabbit hole to unpack the rainbow produce, and subtle food- and fat-shaming, of Kids Eat in Color.

To listen to the full episode and read the full transcript, you’ll need to join Extra Butter, our premium subscription tier.

Extra Butter now costs just $99 per year.

If you are current paid subscriber, the remaining value of your subscription will be deducted from that total. We’ve had some (very understandable!) confusion about this, so I asked Substack to break it down:
  • If you JUST subscribed (like, yesterday) for $50, you’ll take that full $50 off the Extra Butter price.

  • If you’re halfway through your annual membership, you’ll get $25 off the Extra Butter price.

  • If you’re at some other point in your subscription, or paying monthly, your mileage will vary, but you’ll still get some kind of discount.

  • No matter when you joined us, upgrading to Extra Butter extends your subscription by a full year. So you’ll be renewing your membership AND getting more content.

In addition to these monthly episodes (where we get into juicy stuff like the anti-diet to alt-right pipeline, a truly bonkers TikTok diet and my post-divorce body), you’ll also get a comp to and access to our monthly live thread discussions — our next one is next Wednesday at 12pm Eastern!
Plus Extra Butter ensures that the Burnt Toast community can always stay an ad- and sponsor-free space—which is crucial for body liberation journalism. Join us here!
