In S3 Ep 2, Catri Barrett speaks to Becky Young, founder and director of the Anti Diet Riot Club; a rebel community fighting body shame, fat phobia and diet culture.
Catri and Becky explore:
• Becky’s journey with body image struggles that led her to create the Anti Diet Riot Club
• The problem with finding a sense of identify with the way that you look that is so rewarded in our society
• Diet culture: the historical origins and how it has evolved from the heroine chic to the trends of today
• The problematic purification of food and labelling what you eat as ‘good and bad’
• Changing your mindset: How to separate your sense of self-worth and happiness from your appearance
• The life lessons Becky wishes she'd learnt at school: how to fail, accept mistakes and to challenge the media you consume
