Cojab said her addiction stemmed from stress.

She was the president of a Zionist student group called Realize Israel, at odds with other student activists and professors calling on the university to sever ties with Israel.

It's so incredibly disgusting seeing a puff piece about a Zionist crybullying over a cheese addiction, posing with large blocks of fancy cheeses, and talking about expensive rehab far out of reach of the average person, all while her ideology is responsible for ongoing mass starvation and genocide against Palestinians.

Also, I feel like there's a slammer meme somewhere in here zionist-despair 🧀🧀🧀🧀 qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

Sounds fucking rad to be honest.

it's absolutely wild the difference in tone that this absolute rag has when doing the us-foreign-policy bit that they constantly do. anyway, gonna be honest, i think literally no human being is going to be empathetic to this person. i cannot imagine anything as unsympathetic as going to rehab over a cheese addiction while at manhattan law school and leading a zionist student org.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 32 points 6 months ago

like i stress eat for pleasure too, but if someone wrote this article about me i'd [REDACTED FOR READER SAFETY] myself immediately, it would be so gruesome.

She was already rich, then she sued the school for “antisemitism” and they settled. Plus she’s genocidal. Lots of qualities she has.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 43 points 6 months ago

Dr. Neal Barnard, author of the “Cheese Trap” and adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine, explained people like Cojab become addicted to cheese due to the high concentration of fat and salt in the food, along with a protein known as casein that can “get people mildly hooked.”

I'm torn between respecting the grift and revolsion to the way they're inflating and pathologising the first world problems of spoilt bougies.

Cheese contains opiate chemicals that attach to the very same brain receptors that fentanyl or any other narcotic attaches to,” he said, adding that due to the high concentration of casein in cheese, “some people refer to cheese as ‘dairy crack.’”

Lol. This bullshit artist is just making shit up at this point.

Attending a two-week wellness retreat at Hilton Head Health in South Carolina, which costs at minimum $5,820 a week, helped the asiago addict gain control over her eating disorder. Instructors and counselors taught her the basics of how to order and prepare healthy meals, count calories and consider healthier snacks, like blueberries or popcorn in lieu of havarti.

What a fucking gift. We'll charge you enough to buy a nice car just for telling you to eat fruit instead of fat and salt.

Her weight has since dropped to a string-cheese-slim 123 pounds, in part aided by Ozempic prescribed to deal with her diabetes risk, she said.

And then we'll get you weight loss drugs and take credit for it when they work.

Is the western elite really just a bunch of spoilt failchildren held together by an ecosystem of intermingled scams, grifts and fads?

[-] Moonworm@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

Cheese does contain chemicals that bind to opioid receptors. It's part of why people like it.

I don't really like to make fun of someone for having a peculiar eating disorder or addiction, even if it is funny. The part that's really gross about all this is weaponizing it against people protesting an immensely greater suffering. It's disgusting to say that someone stress eating (even if it might trigger a relapse into significantly disordered behavior, which it sounds like it hasn't) should make us pause before decrying famine.

What's funny is that this is the best they could come up with, something that you have to expect most people will laugh at.

[-] Chronicon@hexbear.net 37 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

imma be honest, it sounds like if she ever gets off that ozempic the cheese is coming back in a big way... Real favor that "rehab" did her there. Also wasn't there something about parmesan specifically acting on serotonin levels? girl probably just needs some medication and/or to stop promoting genocide

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

for real, she spent a shit ton of money on a ozempic prescription.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 34 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This is quality content right here. My take aways: Zionists can't hang with the average Midwesterner. When introduced to the white kryptonite, they'll immediately eat themselves into chronic illness in an effort to eat their feelings because deep down they know they're pieces of shit. Then she's foolish enough to not only give herself pre-diabetes, but her cholesterol was probably keeping her blood like pudding; with the cherry on top that she started Ozempic... What a train wreck. This woman will be dead soon, just from the hell she's putting her body through.

Imagine what she smelled like... 🤮

“I stopped by either Morton Williams or by Whole Foods and I would just buy cheese, and I would literally just eat a block of cheese with my hands,” said Cojab, 27, often while sitting on the floor of her Midtown apartment alone in the dark.
“It was the only thing that would make me feel somewhat whole.”
The feta fiend said she devoured an estimated 5.5 blocks of cheese per week, along with savory parmesan crisps she stocked in her pantry.

I understand to an extent. I also love cheese and am empty inside. I’ve eaten too much cheese in one sitting on occasion. But 5 or 6 blocks every week‽

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago

Genuinely unimaginable, my whole family takes like a week or two to get through an average sized block of cheese just through normal breakfast and snack consumption.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 32 points 6 months ago

I feel like this is just a funnier variant of compulsively eating like a tub of ice cream to cope, its just modern proliferation of medical language that makes it a "cheese addiction" rather than some annoying neologism like "cheeseaholic"."

Also, it's amazing that they just throw in some quack doctor in the middle of the article to claim that cheese is actually natural fentanyl. Dietary Science either is the fakest field ever or just has the most obscure and ignored legitimate researchers ever, you never hear something reasonable from one of these people its always some shit like this.

[-] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

casein from dairy gets broken down into casomorphins though which can bind to opiate receptors if they get through the intestinal membrane

“I dabble, but not in the way that I used to before,” she said, adding the recent waves of anti-Israel encampments at Columbia and other universities prompted brief relapses.

peak of 172 pounds

Looks like that's 78 kg in metric. Wait a sec, that's my weight, and I'm pretty healthy?

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=172+lb

≈ 0.88 × average mass of an adult American male

≈ average mass of an adult American female

Yeah that's just a perfectly average weight?? What is she crying about?

Still, Cojab, who settled an antisemitism lawsuit she brought against NYU in 2019 and is set to graduate from the Cardozo School of Law in June, hasn’t sworn off cheese completely. These days, she said she reaches first for a “lighter” mozzarella over a Vermont cheddar or parmesan.

SHE DIDN'T EVEN QUIT
