Join us for a FREE enlightening discussion of "Anti-Diet," a book by Christy Harrison, a registered dietitian and thought leader on the role of diet culture (i.e. thinness and weight loss promoted as indicators of health and beauty) in medicine, the diet and wellness industries, and popular culture. We'll explore concepts in the book such as the Health at Every Size movement, weight stigma, fat phobia, disordered eating, and the impact of diet culture on BIPOC and LGBT+ communities.
Christy Harrison's book can be purchased through Bookshop.org, Amazon, or loaned from your local library. If you prefer audio content, Harrison addresses topics from the book on the podcast "FoodPsych." If you don’t have to book, IT IS ALL GOOD! IT IS STILL WORTH A CONVERSATION! JUST SHOW UP!
