#264: Why “Dismantling Diet Culture” Isn’t Enough with Jessica Wilson

I’m joined by Jessica Wilson, MS, RD, and Author of It’s Always Been Ours. We’re talking about why “dismantling diet culture” isn’t enough, how ideas like “intuitive eating” can cause harm, and the conversations we really need to be having to make systemic change. We also talk about the relationship between anti-fatness and anti-Blackness and why perhaps GOOP isn’t the worst thing.
