It's time to name the neglect from typical food advice. Welcome to the Find Your Food Voice podcast,

hosted by me, Julie Duffy Dillon. I'm a registered dietitian with 20 years of experience

partnering with folks just like you on their food piece journey. What have we learned? Well,

cookie cutter approaches exclude too many people

and you don't need to be fixed. It's not you. It's not me. It's all of us. Only together we can

start a movement and fix diet culture and we will. Let's begin with now. Hey there, welcome to episode 363 of the

Find Your Food Voice podcast. I am Julie Duffy Dylan, registered dietitian, and your host. This

episode is the last in a series on a recent Washington Post article titled as obesity rates rise,

Big Food and Dietitians Push Anti-Diet Advice. Of course, just like all the other episodes,

we have links in the show notes. So if you need to catch up. And I welcome you to this last part in the

series. This will probably be the shortest episode, but we'll see how this goes because there's

a lot of nuance to unpack. And so far, we have gone through three main points that I connected

with in this article.

And the first part discussed weight gain after hearing anti-diet messaging means it doesn't work.

And of course, that is a big part on why this article just infuriated me and showed the misunderstanding with repairing

your history with food. Weight gain is not a measure of health or your worth. And okay,

so part two, we discussed big food and how dietitians working with big food, how that must mean that

anti-diet techniques are null and void. Deep breath, no. We all are just surviving capitalism.

Big food notices how much we humans need this anti-diet messaging because of our need for

permission to heal.

And they are like still selling a product.

And as dietitians, it'd be wonderful if the government in the United States paid us to do our jobs, but we barely make a livable wage.
