Stay Out of My Diet Culture Swamp!

Fit Literate - A podcast by Carolyn Viggh and Laura Girard

Have you ever used Pinterest to find information and inspiration about fitness, nutrition, or weight loss? If you are one of the millions of users on the site, you probably have - and you've probably encountered some weird, dangerous, and scam-y stuff along the way. In today's episode we discuss the toxic swamp that is the "health and fitness" side of Pinterest. We also touch on how the website played into our own fraught relationships with fitness and body image, how we like to use Pinterest these days, and what we think of the move Pinterest made to ban weight loss ads from it's platform. To support the show, consider joining the Patreon. The first patrons-only episode drops next week!
