Burnt Toast Live Podcast Recording: With Virginia Sole-Smith and Angela Garbes
Diet culture is a term that describes the endemic and harmful effects of upholding certain beliefs around food consumption, weight, and health.
Journalist, author, and podcaster, Virginia Sole-Smith, was previously among those who upheld diet culture as a way to practice healthy living. After becoming a mother, Sole-Smith went through a reckoning as to the hidden damage that dieting can cause oneself as well as one’s children. In her new book, "Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Dieting Culture," Sole-Smith investigates the insidious trap of enforcing fatphobic standards in the name of bettering children’s health. She offers research-based strategies to help parents name and navigate the anti-fat bias that infiltrates our schools, doctor’s offices, and family dinner tables.
With Burnt Toast, Sole-Smith utilizes the podcast format to have conversations with authors, activists, researchers, and other passionate actors who work to dismantle toxic diet cultures and promote fat justice. For her live recording at Town Hall Seattle, Sole-Smith will sit down with Angela Garbesꟷ critically acclaimed author and speaker, currently based in Beacon Hill. Garbes’ national bestseller, "Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change," shows that even while the acts of mothering and caregiving have been proven to influence the trajectory of our entire society, these roles are still critically undervalued.
