#67 - The Problems with Moderation, Food Freedom & Health as Anti-Diet Goals

Satisfaction Factor

We've done several episodes now where we deconstruct diet culture language, but this week, we wanted to take a look at some phrases we see in anti-diet spaces that can actually still be upholding some diet culture ideals. In this episode, we're talking about the problems with how the concepts of moderation, food freedom, and health get used in anti-diet spaces.
We had a great conversation, including:

• The difference between moderation and unconditional permission
• How to tell if you're using moderation as restriction
• The privilege in food freedom, and why it's often not a realistic goal
• The problem with using "don't worry, you'll still eat healthy" as a defense against critiques of intuitive eating
• Why health is a meaningless concept without individual & societal context
