What is up daddy gang? It is your founding father Alex Cooper with call her daddy.

Let's get into it because I'm so excited. So to anyone listening, I am here with

Susan Hyatt. I came across Susan's TED Talk and I just immediately knew that

you guys would love her message. So Susan, your talk is titled,

If we want a better world, we've got to kill diet culture. You're a life coach

and you help your clients to live healthier lives, but not through dieting.

So let's start. Can you outline for us what is diet culture?

So diet culture, literally no one can escape it. It's in the air that we breathe. It basically is the culture or the structure that we live within.

Part of a tool of the patriarchy.

And so Diet culture is the media.

Diet culture is stories that your mom and your grandma

told you.

Diet culture is an 80 billion dollar industry that whole goal is to keep women

And so it's not just one thing.

It's an entire attitude of a culture that wants to keep women busy doing other things.

Can you provide some examples that people may not even recognize our diets that they're doing?
