"It's not possible to heal our relationship with food and body while trying to control the size and shape of our body."
-Dana Sturtevant
Decent resource on the harmful nature of diet culture, disordered eating and compulsive exercise.
Includes topics like:
-Why diets don't work
-The health risks associated with weight stigma, weight cycling, etc.
-Social determinants of health
-Working towards a balanced relationship with food through intuitive eating and health at every size. ("Self care instead of self control.")
The author sadly fails to acknowledge that moral values absolutely factor into our food choices (even if we're unaware). Allergies are not the only situation in which someone might avoid or eliminate certain foods for non-diet culture reasons.
Yes, labeling foods good/bad is problematic and often linked to oppressive ideas. AND so are many other deeply held beliefs that impact what we eat. You can stop demonizing donuts and still uphold oppression and supremacist beliefs through your food choices.
What I find irritating is when people talk about social justice and body liberation and then pick and choose what bodies that applies to.
