S3. E6. The dangers of "clean eating"

from Your Daily Bread · host Abbie Stasior MS, RDN, LDN, CIEC

"Eating clean" may sound healthy and righteous... but is this language leading to more guilt and shame, harming our relationship with food? In Acts 10, Peter has a vision where God tells him, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” While this passage carries powerful implications about inclusion and the Gospel, it also dismantles something many of us still cling to today: labeling food as morally good or bad. In this episode, we’re unpacking the subtle danger of “clean eating” language — and how it may be harming your relationship with food more than helping it. What You’ll Learn:  What Acts 10 really teaches us about food  Why “clean eating” language can increase food anxiety  How labeling food impacts your brain and behavior  A healthier, more biblical way to approach nourishment Work with Abbie here: https://bio.site/abbiestasior See the study about clean eating here (Ambwani et al., 2019): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31171970/
