Why Does My Sister Take My Food Choices Personally?

On this Thanksgiving edition of Dear DST, a listener asks how to respond to her sister after she blew up the family group chat with demands for the Thanksgiving menu. Should she feel compelled to accommodate her sister and include “healthy” options on the table? They discuss how these siblings may be projecting their own food issues onto each other and why they are at odds over their respective choices. Plus, they talk about Thanksgiving etiquette and why it differs from family to family. Finally, they close things out with a listener Non Scale Win about standing up to her mom and skipping the family Thanksgiving altogether this year. Learn more about your ad choices.
