The PUSH Podcast Season 2 Episode 3: Instagram Drama, Food Pyramids & Diet Culture

We recently made a post on Instagram that ruffled some feathers. (We called it Trouble Maker Tuesday.) Pushing back against diet culture can feel very daunting, but we think it’s important. Calling these things out as we see them is one of the ways that we feel like we can inch toward changing the conversation about diets and bodies.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The post that sparked a conversation about diet culture;

  • The hierarchy of foods and how that can be problematic;

  • How we can unknowingly participate in systemic and institutionalized racism; and

  • How the phrase “Keep tugging your tug boats, people!” can simultaneously be a call to action for anti racism work and self pleasure.
