For Chanel Kenner, her lifelong dedication to developing a health and sustainable relationship with food began very personally. She needed to make some serious life changes and understand those were changes she would live with daily, for the rest of her life.

 

Today Chanel is a dietician who helps clients understand the concept of diet, which can have both positive and negative implications depending on individual interpretations. She emphasizes the importance of understanding that diet refers to an individual's habitual eating pattern, which can be influenced by cultural, social, and personal aspects.

 

She also discusses the concept of food shaming, particularly in schools, and the importance of promoting a positive conversation about food. She advocates for Kenner advocates for the Ellyn Satter method of feeding, which involves parents deciding what food is served, when, and where, while children decide what they will eat and how much. This approach promotes autonomy and a healthy relationship with food.
