    Description

    This week I get All Fired Up with Meg McClintock, dietitian from Choose Nutrition. Meg has had a gutful of her fellow dietitians uncritically promoting new food products which buy into problematic ideas about food. "Skinny Sugar" exemplifies everything that's wrong with how we're marketing food these days. Not only does "Skinny Sugar" exploit the fear we're being fed about sugar and its 'toxic' impact on our health, it also directly tells us that we should be feeling GUILTY about consuming sugar. Throw in a COMPLETELY sexist website, some utterly incorrect 'facts' about GI, and a dodgy corporate backstory, and we have the perfect recipe for diet culture!!

    Welcome to the All Fired Up podcast, with your host Louise Adams!  Louise is by nature a mild mannered clinical psychologist, but her alter ego – a FIERCE and fearless anti-diet crusader – is taking over! Louise specialises in helping people recover from disordered eating, and she’s COMPLETELY OVER trying to help people when the culture we live in is utterly sick, toxic, and screwed up when it comes to food, exercise, health, and body size.  Louise cannot for a second longer take the rampant injustice of a society obsessed with thinness and health. She can’t STAND how fat people are being treated like second class citizens. She is LIVID about the way weight science is being sold to make a buck off human misery.  And she’s SO OVER the diet bulls**t that she’s shelved her own introversion and started a podcast!  So welcome to All Fired Up!, where Louise delves deeply into diet culture and blows it the hell up! Each week we’ll meet brave and fascinating anti-diet warriors who are also fighting for equality, justice, and freedom. Join us, and get All Fired Up! about building a better world!
