The Culture Of It All
Your anti-diet sidekick and go-to resource as we explore what it really means to ditch diet culture whilst living life in a larger body. Your host, Melanie Knights will be sharing stories, busting diet culture myths, and breaking through the bullshit of the $72 billion diet industry.
Discussing topics such as anti-fatness, body liberation, body positivity, media representation, and intuitive eating. We will create a foundation for bodily autonomy, and take actionable steps to advocate for, and honour our own needs so that we can take up space, challenge weight stigma, and live a more confident, comfortable and joyful fat life!
The Culture Of It All
TRAILER: The Culture Of It All Podcast
Welcome friends to the Culture of It All podcast. I am absolutely thrilled that you are here and I can't wait to start having conversations with you about what it really means to ditch diet culture whilst living life in a larger body. No matter where you are on your own anti-diet journey, we’re in this together, and will continue unpacking and unlearning diet culture so that we can take up space right now.
As the name of this show suggests, being anti-diet is about more than a meal plan or a food list, it's about the culture of all. It's a cultural system of beliefs and myths that centre thinness, promote weight loss and unrealistic beauty standards. It demonises food by labelling them as good or bad and attaching your self-worth by association.
Diet culture oppresses people who do not fit into this system of beliefs, and it disproportionately harms women, femmes, trans folk, people in larger bodies, people of colour, and people with disabilities, damaging both their mental and physical health.
