Dietitian discusses pros, cons of "human kibble" trend

A viral TikTok trend called "human kibble," involving a single, large-batch meal, is being debated by a dietitian for its potential benefits and drawbacks. The approach involves combining numerous chopped ingredients into one dish. Dietitian Gisela Bouvier acknowledges the meal prep's potential for increased vegetable intake and simplified meal planning, but warns of boredom, nutrient gaps, and a rigid food mindset. She suggests rotating ingredients and prioritizing enjoyment. The "human kibble" trend, inspired by dog food, has gained popularity for its convenience. However, Bouvier emphasizes the importance of variety and social experiences in a healthy, balanced diet.
