EP157: The Racist Origins of Diet Culture with Jessica Wilson
We talk with Jessica Wilson, MS, RDN (she/her), a clinical dietitian, consultant and author, whose experiences navigating the dietetic fields as a Black, queer dietitian have been featured on public radio shows and in print media, including the New York Times, Bustle, and Cronkite News. Jessica has worked as a clinical dietitian since 2007 and is acutely aware of how both the public health and medical framing of “healthy eating” and “obesity” has contributed to disordered eating and self blame. She speaks openly and candidly about the harm caused to people by designating individual identities and bodies as risk factors, rather than targeting the structural inequities and violence that marginalized individuals must endure and which contribute to whether we fall into the social construction of Health. In this episode we talk about the unique experiences of black, fat, queer women in wellness, the racist origins of diet culture, and Jessica’s take on intuitive eating.
