Ep 117 - The Pressure to Raise ‘Perfect’ Eaters w/ Sarah Dempster {Crossover - Eating Words Podcast‪}‬ Don't Salt My Game | With Laura Thomas, PhD

In this episode I'm being interviewed by friend and colleague Sarah Dempster about the pressure that parents face to raise 'perfect' eaters, from fertility and early pregnancy onwards. 
In this episode we discuss:
✨The messages we receive around nutrition and how these can add to the idea that there is a right and wrong way to eat for conception, pregnancy and beyond
✨Why feeding littles can be such an emotive topic
✨Why it's not your fault if your kid suddenly stops eating certain foods
✨ The long-term repercussions of such an intense focus on 'perfect' eating in childhood
✨ Why using food to soothe can be part of your emotional coping toolkit
✨Why we need to be critical about the messages we share around food and nutrition
✨ Why we need more person-centred care in nutrition and dietetics
