Why Diet Culture is Just Icing On The Cake with Jessica Wilson
Manage episode 374209274 series 2913275
It's comfortable and increasingly normalised to criticise and speak to dismantling diet culture. Yet without interrogating what upholds diet culture we harm everyone and leave actual liberation behind. In this episode I am joined by queer, disabled Dietitian, Author and Community Organiser Jessica Wilson for a deeply thought provoking and insightful exploration of Health and all that gets lumped in with it including intuitive eating and diet culture. Including:
- the loud messages that a body is supposed to be healthy at all times and there’s set ways to do that with the messages coming from powerful places
- how this is inherently political and always has been
- who is left out of consideration when it comes to eating disorder treatment, dietetic practice and both wellness and healthcare generally
- who is intuitive eating for?
- when we swap dieting for intuitive eating - what is missing ?
- why just dismantling "diet culture" isn't enough and what we do need instead
