Too Much with Jess and Mandy

Ep 32: Diet Culture Is F**ked


Listen Later

We’re back with more unsolicited advice this new year. From skipping breakfast to joining weight watchers, we’re finally drilling into diet culture. How our favourite fitness influencers perpetuate diet culture, how eating disorders are rooted in fatphobia, and all the things. We get into disordered eating, orthorexia, assigning “good” and “bad” to different foods, the Jubilee videos where people rank each other, society’s bs beauty standards, Victoria’s Secret, toxic Instagram posts, how diet culture disproportionately affects women and feminine people and soooo much more.

Why do we all want to look like other people but we hate our own bodies? We get into the bs we’ve been fed since we were kids, like not giving into your cravings, and thinking a piece of cake would make you instantly gain weight (WHICH ISN’T A BAD THING). A good precursor to this episode is Ep 8: The Eating Disorder Episode. We also apologize for the noise during certain times in the recording as Jess had some noise in her home that was out of her control. Enjoy! TW: In this episode, we talk in depth about eating disorders and disordered eating.
