Summary

Intuitive eating & diet culture part 2, except today we go deeper down the rabbit hole discussing dieting politics, personal bias, why the Greek gods were depicted as athletic specimens, our desire as humans for growth, where the body positivity movement fails people, where diet culture actually started, how our modern environment is dangerously obesogenic and often overlooked, how our personal goals ultimately rule all, and much more.

Hey everyone, Ben Kumbu Radio, episode number 463.

0:04.5

I hope you're all well and thank you to all the people that have written in from the show that

0:10.9

we did on intuitive eating, diet culture, body positivity and all the

0:16.0

rabbit holes that we went down. Loads of tags on social media, loads of people sort of

0:20.9

sharing their thoughts and stuff. And we've had a couple of pretty

0:24.3

long emails in that have spurred part two today we've also had a couple of

0:30.1

suggestions of like other people that we can potentially get on the show but for now me and

0:35.1

Tom oh hi Tom oh hi Ben how you doing me and Tom wanted to kind of dive in and

interesting is allowing those people or a person to really frame how they feel about it on a personal level because ultimately people

1:25.8

have created this anti-d Diet culture body positivity, intuitive eating movement as a result of their own personal experiences so for us

1:34.9

to understand the extent of their personal experience allows us to deconstruct how we fit

1:42.0

other people and ourselves into this conversation because we've got their

1:46.5

experience and opinion we've got my experience opinion, Toms etc then we've got the

1:51.4

research body and actually it's about breaking down all of that and finding how we fit into it so we can navigate our own opinions and actions out the back of it.

2:01.6

Yeah definitely I think that would be good.
