In this episode of Your Magic, activist, speaker, teacher, and writer Virgie Tovar joins host Michelle Tea for a conversation about the magic of science, the dangers of diet culture, and the power of pleasure.

We're excited to share another show we think you'll enjoy: Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter, from the TED Audio Collective. 

Do I really need 8 glasses of water a day? Is it actually possible to "boost" my immune system? You’re constantly bombarded with news stories, ads, and social media posts telling you how to optimize your health—but a lot of these sources that pretend to be backed by science have another agenda. Dr. Jen Gunter is here to bust the lies you’re told—and sold—about your health, debunking some of the stickiest myths out there while helping you to understand how your body really works. We're playing episode one for you today, and if you like what you hear, you can get more episodes of Body Stuff by following the show wherever you're listening to this.

Team Rebel Eaters Club is excited to share an episode of a podcast we think you'll like from our friends at America's Test Kitchen.

Proof is a podcast that explores the weird and surprising backstories about food. In this episode, an epic journey into a curious, unexamined corner of the food world.

In John Birdsall’s 2014 article, "America, Your Food is so Gay,” he describes a particularly indulgent cheese burger as "unflinchingly queer.” For reporter Chad Chenail, this sparked a journey of self-discovery through queer theory, all in an attempt to answer the question: What is the Queerest food?

"Fill up your tummy!" says dietician Dr. Jennnifer Brady. Dietitians are not immune to fatphobia. It can seep into their training programs and -- ultimately -- the advice they give to patients. Virgie and dietician Jennifer Brady discuss this while savoring croissants and discussing the feminist history of home economics.
