The diet culture is harmful

Diet culture believes that appearance and body shape are more important than physical, psychological, and general well-being.

Diet culture normalises labelling foods as good or bad and thinking that food is either something you earn or don't deserve depending on how you've eaten and exercised.

People also label themselves as good or bad for eating certain foods. They may have a poor self-image, talk negatively about themselves, and believe that a thin person is better.
