Diet Culture in Places of Worship

Did you catch this week’s latest episode on Diet Culture Dropout? Today I am joined with Leslie Schilling who is a Registered Dietitian and book author. We are exploring how diet culture comes up in places of worship. Growing largely is this purity culture in faith based communities or church brands as Leslie calls it. We explore various elements to yet another way people can be upholding and mislead by diet culture.
