Adefunke Banjoko
Staff Advisor
- Meeting Days & Times: Twice a week, Wednesday mornings 8 am
- Location: S260
- Description: There is a popular cookie chain named Crumbl Cookie, what makes the chain popular is the new flavors weekly. We plan to review these flavors once every two weeks and mathematically calculate a weekly average rating, but aside from this we plan on making a safe space for intuitive eating. This is the century of social media, and although social media has many positive attributes, it is also very influential and has created diet culture norms that make teenagers at impressionable ages believe there are certain "good" and "bad" foods. According too eatingdisorders.hope, 13% of adolescents before the age of 20 form an eating disorder. Our goal is too steer away from those unhealthy habits teenagers pick up from diet culture and form a space where all foods are safe foods. Cookies are a food marketed as "cheat day" foods and we hope to erase the stigma and let members feel confident, healthy, and in love with their bodies, any food that nourishes you is good food. We think Crumbl is a great way to do this because of the current trend going on of weekly cookie reviews, lets create healthy relationships with food!
- Club Rules:
Being an active member in promoting and advocating healthy habits, kindness to all members (no slander/gossiping/hatred will be tolerated, create a safe space for all to feel comfortable in their bodies)
