By partaking in the toxic diet conversation, you help create a society that considers fat bodies to be less worthy.
I had thought that the world being turned upside down might put a dent in diet culture, that having a real and very serious health issue to contend with would get our collective perspective in order. Turns out that was naive.
ADVERTISEMENT When you joke about the horror of gaining weight in public forums, it isn’t harmless. Not only does it perpetuate stigma towards fat bodies; you’re also telling fat people what you really think of them. If you like your smaller body, I’m delighted for you. Enjoy it. However, if your only response to inhabiting a slightly larger form is mockery or revulsion, you are not an ally to the body positivity movement.
When I’m not disappointed by folks I expected better from, I am bombarded by the diet industry. The weight loss world has never missed an exploitation opportunity. Diet plans and workout program ads have multiplied. Disreputable influencers can’t wait to wring some cash out of skinny-whatever schemes. Millionaire celebrities holed up in mansions are giving us food plans to guard against stress eating.
