Today’s Food Therapy comes from Boston blogger Lingbo Li. Her attractive blog with popsicle logo includes posts on travel, life and food. But that’s not the interest today.

Our interest is the webpage she described as this:

“We want this to be the pulse of America’s guilty obsession with food. To shine a light on a twisted cultural pysche. To expose guilt at the bacon-saturated grassroots.”

What could that be? Lingbo launched “Shouldn’t Have Eaten” in December 2010. The site is a place where users can go to strip-down their food secrets and post them for all to see. And, wow, is it funny!

You start out with a blank box with the lead-in words “I shouldn’t have eaten…”. To the right is a hilarious muffin overflowing from its paper cup jeans. With inspiration like that, and an option for anonymity, posting of gluttony is not so hard…

“I shouldn’t have eaten… a giant bowl of Ramen. Then a big hunk of peanut butter, straight off the knife. And a beer,” said one user.

Students, for one, are sure to have a long cathartic list for this website at the end of final exams. For example, I shouldn’t have eaten a cupcake for breakfast followed by eight shots of espresso on ice.

I could tell you worse things, but no, no. I will save that for the anonymous posts.
