We are exploring whether food is toxic and challenging the notion of food addiction in this rebroadcast of the Death To Diets mini-series. We also look at the new Jonathan Van Ness show called Getting Curious where they answered the question “Why Do I Love Snacks So Much?” Instead of a delightful foray into the wonderful world of snacks, this episode took a dark turn into debunked science from 1996, fatphobia, and food shaming. Fun! Vinny Welsby and I break down the BS around it and other “toxic” food myths. Show notes:summerinnanen.com/225 In this episode, we talk about: - How food shaming and fatphobia is disguised as health in popular culture, - That chemicals in food does not mean it’s toxic or bad for you, - That sugar and food addiction doesn’t exist and how restriction makes people think they are addicted, - That there are no morally superior foods, but our culture’s obsession with losing weight makes us think there are, - How altering the BMI was used to support fatphobic statistics, - That there’s still a lot of fear and misinformation around food and eating, Plus so much more!
