[Ads-l] butter mom; almond mom

If you're a "butter mom
<https://www.parents.com/im-a-proud-butter-mom-heres-what-im-teaching-my-daughter-about-food-11835027>,"
you generally reject diet culture and instead opt for wholesome ingredients
like real butter. The "butter mom" doesn't judge food choices and chooses
simple, home-cooked meals. She also has snacks on hand and doesn't have an
issue with dessert.

It's actually the opposite of an "almond mom
<https://www.parents.com/what-is-an-almond-mom-and-how-to-not-be-one-6822156>."
An "almond mom" is a parent who tends to pass on unhealthy eating advice
and habits to their children. It promotes diet culture and could cause
children to have an unhealthy obsession with their weight.
