Food is not the Problem. by Emily Presbrey, MS, RD, LDN

Many of us live with societal pressures around food. We are told that our character is molded by the foods we choose to eat. Diet culture equates a persons level of morality or “goodness” with the foods they eat. You are “good” because you ate veggies and you are “bad” because you ate ice cream. The social idealization of thinness and pressures around food are contributors to the development of eating disorders. THIS is the problem. Food is not the problem.
