8 Months Away From The Racist Diet Industry Part 2: The BS Food Culture With Guest Elisa Salvat

Hey there you beautiful babies!!! We're here with another episode and this week we welcome back Elisa Salvat to discuss Part 2 of a THREE PART topic regarding racism in the dieting industry. This time Elisa discusses what she learned in school and how it is applicable in her every day practice as a dietician. She also talks about the lack of diversity in her industry and about how Black women are specifically targeted by the standards of the diet culture to not love their bodies, as well as being told by "professionals" how to live their lives based on research geared not towards People of Color. We also discuss beyond the doctor's office or hospital to the lack of access to food and food deserts and some of the solutions we can all implement, regardless of your color, gender, etc. to succeed at in the face of an industry setting us up to fail.
