Fellow Health At Every Size dietitian Rebecca Scritchfield
shares how her family's identity as "emotional eaters" led to their
embrace of diet culture, how childhood poverty and food insecurity
affected her relationship with food, how she finally discovered the
anti-diet movement after starting to work as a dietitian, how she
developed the idea for her new book, Body Kindness, why the concept
of kindness is so essential in relating to your body, why weight
loss isn't a path to health, and lots more!
