EP 2: The One About Fat
from ED on ED · host Ed on ED Podcast
In this episode, Liz and Dr. Ed dive deep into the vilification of fat in America. We reveal the historical origins and faulty science behind the low fat/fat free diet trend, and examine why fat is important to the body. We also hear the story of “Amy,” a promising scholar and athlete who slides down the slippery slope of restriction, eventually cutting all fat from her diet. Through her story we humanize the deleterious effect of demonizing fat - and offer radical alternatives for how to conceptualize fat. Also in this episode - a David Bowie in Labyrinth reference? You’ll just have to listen to find out why.Useful Links: Article: “How the Ideology of Low Fat Conquered America”:https://academic.oup.com/jhmas/article/63/2/139/772615Social Media: Instagram: @edonedpodcastProfessional Email: [email protected]
