snack shaming
Criticizing others' munchies
Snack shaming is criticizing someone for what they're eating, especially when the food is considered unhealthy or indulgent.
The judgment might be explicit or delivered through raised eyebrows and loaded questions: Do you really need that second cookie?
The practice often targets people already self-conscious about their eating habits.
