Episode 11: Is Veganism Pro Diet Culture?

CW: diet culture, disordered eating, and fatphobia

Is veganism inherently restrictive? Nope. But does that mean the vegan community is immune to diet culture? Also no. HAES (Health At Every Size) therapist Jenny Weinar joins Alisha to discuss veganism as an ethical movement and how to separate it from diet culture in some vegan spaces. She addresses why co-opting veganism to promote diet culture not only harms the movement but also fat people and those who struggle with disordered eating. Jenny and Alisha also talk about next steps vegans should take to make the community more inclusive to people of all sizes and backgrounds.
