It’s designed to keep us stuck in the cycle of feeling like WE are the problem-especially if we don’t look, move, or eat in a certain way, or fit the blanket definitions or aesthetics of what is “healthy.”Īgain, it’s all such nonsense.

With our family and friends, on TV, in song lyrics, on the covers of magazines, packaging in grocery stores, on restaurant menus, and of course on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest… you name it.īut what most folks aren’t willing to talk about, is that diet culture is built on oppressive systems, and completely bypassing (& even denying!!!) our lived experiences, levels of privilege, traumas, and innate wisdom about how to care for our bodies. Whether your family and friends have perpetuated it around you or not, we’re constantly surrounded by talks of dieting, body shaming, conflicting fitness and nutrition advice, and being tricked into thinking something isn’t actually part of diet culture, when it really is.ĭiet culture is literally everywhere, and has been for decades. Your body is SO much smarter than you give it credit for! Not so hot take…you don’t need any of those supposed interventions 😒. Alas, we've been gaslit into thinking we need some massive intervention from these almighty diets, skinny teas, and disgusting powders. If it weren't for our cultures obsession with thinness, you wouldn't need to be re-taught what your body has known all along. And yet, we grow up in a culture that has us believing our bodies have no idea how to take care of themselves. From the day we’re born, we intuitively know how to eat.
