Caroline Dooner author of "The F*ck It Diet" joins the podcast to talk about food neutrality, body neutrality, and a feminist approach to diet culture. After 10 years of dieting, Caroline decided to adopt an anti-diet mentality and heal her relationship with food by allowing food, allowing rest, and she started a blog, which led to a book deal. We talk about her experience, and discuss lessons in loving your body and she's learned along the way.
"A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.” - Naomi Wolf
