Summary

On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren have a detailed discussion about the ways different cultures talk about body size and the miscommunications that can happen as a result. Is calling someone “gordita” or “piggie” cute, rude or just a cultural difference? Emily references an anecdote from “90 Day Fiance” and Lauren recalls some comical misunderstandings from when she studied abroad in Spain. Then, the two respond to a Dear DST from an American listener who is working abroad in London and having some struggles around a coworker making comments about her body. Is this another cultural difference or is her coworker just being generally offensive? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
