We’re in muddy waters today, wading through the intersection of veganism, gender, disordered eating, and identity. We start by going down memory lane: Instagram in the 2010’s and the plant based influencers. Then, the rise of the carnivore diet, and the way gender seems to interact with restrictive diets. We get into data-based associations we have around food and food choices, food sovereignty and why it’s so important, and the way the honoring one’s hunger can be a radical act.
