This week's clickbait from the @washingtonpost tells us that #AntiDiet messaging they've pushed from the #HAES movement is actually a #BigFood conspiracy supported by dietitians. This reporting is so absurd as to sound like satire.

CNN: As #obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice.
One company in particular, #GeneralMills, maker of Cocoa Puffs & Lucky Charms cereals, has launched a multi-pronged campaign that capitalizes on the teachings of the #AntiDiet movement.
...
The company has also enlisted a team of lobbyists and pushed back against federal policies that would add health information to food labels.

#GeneralMills has showered giveaways on registered #dietitians who promote its cereals w/the hashtag DerailTheShame, & #sponsored #influencers who promote its sugary snacks. The co also enlisted #lobbyists & pushed back against fed policies that would add #health info to #FoodLabels.
…Online dietitians—many of them backed by food makers—also are building lucrative followings by co-opting #AntiDiet msgs. Anti-diet hashtags…have proliferated on #SocialMedia.
One company in particular, #GeneralMills, maker of CocoaPuffs & LuckyCharms cereals, has launched a multi-pronged campaign that capitalizes on the teachings of the #AntiDiet movement…. General Mills has toured the country touting anti-diet research it claims proves the harms of “food shaming” [it does harm, but doesn’t necessitate unhealthy food habits].

…the “anti-diet” movement, a #SocialMedia juggernaut that began as an effort to combat #WeightStigma & an unhealthy obsession w/thinness…[has now been co-opted by]…global food marketers…seeking to cash in on the trend.

Happy No Diet Day!
I hope everybody is celebrating
@fruitcake Yeah, I feel like there is not al lot of fat activism on here. Or at least I haven’t found a whole lot of people who talk about it.
There are some though, so I follow several hashtags to try and not miss any posts about it: #FatAcceptance #FatLiberation #FatActivism #AntiDiet
I hope our community will still grow on here!
CW: food, eating habits
I'm craving chocolate, sugar, ice cream, all of the sweets. But especially chocolate. Relearning how to eat intuitively (vs. by diet culture rules) takes time, practice and a big servingof self-compassion.
In 1935 schreef Carl Malmberg het boek 'Diet and Die' waarin hij de onzin van een aantal populaire diëten uit zijn tijd beschrijft.
Go, Carl!

I'm having trouble reconciling my deep belief in bodily autonomy with the potential impact of a high-profile, influential person publicly announcing that they are undergoing a dangerous surgery that they probably wouldn't have to have if we didn't live in such a fatphobic society.

Hail to the warriors Resch and Tribole
The modern anti-diet squad so bold
They fight against diet culture's lies
And bring intuitive eating to the skies
No more restrictive dieting to watch and behold

Here are some great New Year Resolutions of improved health is your goal this year:
- get enough sleep
- hydrate
- schedule time to be creative or quiet or whatever it is you need (no, actually schedule it)
- set appropriate boundaries to protect yourself
- be thankful about 5 new things each day
- start an herb garden
- learn how to cook with fresh herbs
- find your favorite neighborhood plant and take lots of pictures of it (my example below)
Today’s lesson:
Topping blueberry scones with a mix of lemon zest and sugar is a very good idea.
My littlest helped. For him it was a fun time hanging with me and playing with dough.
The subversive message I’m sending him through cooking together is:
- Food is more than fuel. And that’s awesome.
- All food belongs. We can enjoy all kinds of flavors through the day.
- I trust him to help with such an important task!
Sometimes joy is hidden.
This bee is looking for it inside a blossom. I’m looking for it while watching the bee.
Where are you looking for joy?
Spoiler: It’s not on the bathroom scale.
