Episode 39: Food & Diet Culture The Manic Episodes

Mary & Wyatt, fresh off of a leek quiche dinner, settle in to chat about food and diet culture. Mary discusses her reading and research in the areas of dieting, heart health, and "bad"/"good" foods. They talk about the junk food industry, the relationship between fatphobia and racism, and the deep injustice of food deserts. Also on the agenda: disastrous celebrity impressions, Wyatt slanders the macrame industrial complex, and poems by Philip Metres and Melissa Lozada-Oliva.
