Today Dr. Anderson reflects on how people can expand their perspective of food. Diet culture and eating disorder voice lead people to think of food in limited ways. She discusses how food offers so much more than diet culture and eating disorder-perspective can. She talks about:
Ways diet culture narrows our thoughts on food
Calculator model
Good/Bad food
Moralizing eating
Without diet culture, we can appreciate so much more about food
How food is created, makes its way to our plates
What food does in our bodies
How food can be pleasurable, meaningful, and emotional
Food facilitating connection with others
Food passing along family traditions
Food as a part of cultural or religious practice
Preparing food as enjoyable itself
COVID and what’s really important about food
Always, but even more so during the pandemic, people experience hunger, food insecurity by no fault of their own
Diet culture pressures people to make “good” choices. How does one do that when you can’t access all foods, enough foods, or don’t have food available consistently?
Food as part of an act of service
Food can be a way we look after our fellow people. If you have the means, support local organizations, people in your community who are struggling right now.
