This class is all about the language we use when it comes to food which can be one of the clearest indicators of the state of our food relationship.
Join to explore the origins of the many unhelpful ingrained phrases in our collective food vocabulary and how these learned terms and phrases impact our food relationship. We’ll also identify strategies for recalibrating your food language and set the foundation for a new way of communicating about food, eating, and nourishment that inspires and liberates.
Social Media and
Diet Influencing
April 18th
6pm EST
In general, more time on social media has been associated with increased symptoms of depression, feelings of social isolation, anxiety and sleep disturbance. These feelings indirectly can affect our diet, but social media use can have more direct impacts too...
The content we view on social media becomes a part of our foodscape - it’s just as much a part of our food environment as the grocery stores in our neighborhood. And, of course, our food environment informs our food behaviors, which means that social media is affecting how we eat, how we think about food, and how we feel about ourselves as it relates to our diets. It’s pervasive and, for many of us, it can be unhealthy.
