Food Heaven Podcast: When Anti-Diet Dietitians Become Problematic
On this episode of the Food Heaven Podcast, registered dietitians Wendy and Jess chat with me about my controversial article on whiteness and fatphobia among anti-diet dietitians and the commodification of body positivity, as well as:
Why I decided to write the article
The history of the body positive movement and its social justice roots
Ways in which the anti-diet movement has become exclusionary & problematic
The problematic ways the academy of nutrition promotes elitist, fatphobic, and culturally insensitive nutrition recommendations
Beauty standards within communities of color and the role privilege plays in all of this
How to center the voices of fat people + MORE!
