What does our relationship to food have to do with social justice? A lot, actually, even for those of us with plenty of access to resources.

Listen in to hear:

 • how diet culture connects with other hierarchical systems of oppression

 • how parents can resist passing on body mistrust at the table so kids grow up with a peaceful relationship to food

 • the problem with making "health" the new definition of goodness

—so we can build a world where each human life and body is truly valued.
