Where did this thing come from? Along with the stereotype of girls drinking coffee and eating nothing else? And the “almond mom” thing? Do women not eat? What’s the history of this cultural thingy?

I’m single and the kids moved out. When the BF was alive it was a meat/starch/veg dinner every night. Whether I was hungry or not. And in the end when he was really sick and couldnt eat…he still wanted that homecooked dinner.
I am now the queen of grazing. Cut up broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, avocados with a spoon, cheese sticks, dates, prunes, other dried fruit, bagged salad, eaten out of the bag with dressing on the side. Soup. I learned to make soda bread. I eat it in chunks I pull off. Sunflower seeds, walnuts, cashews. If I cook it’s usually all in one pot. Choppd veg, some meat or not, maybe cheese. Eaten out of the pot.
I’ve even been known to eat dinner in the shower. Temp controlled, dishes washed.
And while we’re at it, I think women got a rep for eating “light” on dates because they didn’t want to look like a “pig”. Because a healthy eater isn’t attractive?
