Breaking Up with Diet Culture Extra Spicy

    • Food

Virgie Tovar, author and podcast host of the Rebel Eaters Club, talks about diet culture: what it is, how it feels and how we can push against it in favor of a less punitive way of thinking about how we eat. Battling fatphobia is about more than just changing attitudes on a personal level, she says. Hosts Soleil Ho and Justin Phillips also discuss how food writers and food media at large have perpetuated myths about diets and eating.
