Whoa, drawing the connection between diet culture and budget culture just blew my mind.

Also, I used to listen to a lot of Dave Ramsey and he is a bad person but also has some really, really terrible theology. His instance on calling the IRS "the KGB, I mean the IRS" and setting up the idea that contributing to a social safety net and infrastructure via paying taxes is some kind of affront to Christianity is such a fundamental misread of the Gospel. It's also a really shitty way to make sure that most of his listeners/followers continue to live in places with shittier than average outcomes in terms of health and education.
