I Ate Spirulina for B12. It Wasn’t About Health.

I used to count every gram of protein, every microgram of B12, like it would save me from something I couldn’t name. When I read about Spirulina finally matching beef for B12, I bought the powder, convinced it was a fix—clean, green, and guilt-free. But the truth is, no supplement ever quieted the voice that asked if I was doing enough. I’d stir the algae into my oatmeal, watching the color turn swampy, telling myself this was the right choice. Still, I’d stare at the empty bowl and wonder if I’d earned my next meal, or if I was just trying to disappear into numbers and labels. It was never really about the B12. It was about control, and how even the most perfect food couldn’t fill the ache. #Health #Diet #FoodGuilt
