Diet culture is supported by a multi-billion dollar industry that pushes weight loss through every medium possible.⁣ Diet culture tells men, women, and children that they are not small enough, strong enough, or lean enough. ⁣DIET CULTURE IS HARD TO IGNORE.⁣ Anti-diet culture is not the same thing as anti-dieting, and let’s talk about why.
