Unfortunately the janny menace got to it before there was much drama :#marseyitsover: although it's doesn't appear to be locked yet in case any :m#arseyrapscallion: want to add their 5 cents.

Huh, this is super interesting. They mention an intuitive eating influencer, Lindsay Pleskot, being paid off by the sugar industry.

:#platythink:

I'm glad to see this posted here. I really enjoy MP, think that the hosts are great etc, but they are weirdly quiet when it comes to the influence of mainstream convenience food companies...

"Just admit you hate fat people" is the catchphrase. Fast food companies obviously don't hate fat people, so there's no problem.

:#soyjakanimeglasses::#soyjakferal::#soyjakcobson:

So, my partner's a HAES dietitian. She had to prepare her clients for this article, because it's a problem.

Yes, there's too much money influencing influencers. Absolutely a problem. But everyone mentioned in this article is somewhere in the HAES, body liberation, etc world. They don't mention dietitians that take money from Noom or WW or other diet companies. Which feels fricked up, since I'd bet there's WAY more diet industry money in dietetics than there is food company money.

:#soycry:

this article pissed me off. there is no nuance. i follow one of the RDs who made a sponsored aspartame post and the other things she promotes are things like salmon, grapefruit, and sausage, ffs, and is always SUPER clear about what posts are ads. if anything this is a reminder to be media literate, make sure you read the caption, think critically, but also a lot of these dieticians provide excellent content -- are we supposed to just have them do that for free?!

:#soymad:

Yup! My partner actually knows that RD fairly well. She turns down sponsorship opportunities daily because she doesn't believe in them

:#platybruh:

"I'd bet there's WAY more diet industry money in dietetics than there is food company money."

I'm curious about that. Is that a blind bet or do you have some insight? The food companies absolutely SWAMP the diet industry on every other spending metric.

I unironically agree with this take. Kids aren't getting fat from ice cream and fruits and the occasional chocolate.

99% of the time people are fat because of Gatorade/soda/chips. They don't fill you up, and are basically just empty calories.

Sugar cravings are a symptom of needing more carbs, which are important for maintaining a good pump and maintaining hydration in the body. Just feed kids fruits. There are basically no kids who will say no to eating a mango if you peel it for them. Same with ice cream.

Indulging my sweet tooth is how I stopped having to count calories to watch my weight. Salmon & broccoli is NDB if I can have a slice of cake but I won't eat bread, rice or pasta anymore unless it actually tastes good (or if I'm being served it as a guest ofc).

I somehow convinced my toddler that sardines are a treat :marseysrdine:, and she insists on eating peas with every meal. I consider it my crowning achievement as a parent. Meanwhile my friends with kids can't get them to eat anything other than microwaved hotdogs and bear claws.

It's wild that liberals are the group who brought back the Victorian idea that children are just little adults. “They know exactly what's good for them and have perfect judgment.”

The ability to be perpetually sober is genetically impossible for almost all humans, and a completely unrealistic standard pushed by hollywood caricatures.

You're familiar with "the shakes" right? Does that suggest to you that being sober right now is in any way healthy?? It's literally alarm bells from your body screaming at you about how bad it is for you.

I lost 30 lbs and have kept it off for 8 years by reading some anon's /fit/ sticky. Literally just eat fewer calories (can be helped by eating more filling food) and work out if you feel like it.

Unironically thankful that I took some advice on 4chan instead of getting caught in the crossfire of the diet industrial complex and the fatty industrial complex.

The permanent sticky on /fit/? It doesn't come from an Anon as far as I know, but it's indeed the best advice you can hand out to any newcomer.

It really makes you realize how much bullshit advice has been handed out by boomers when it comes to diet or exercise.

A dietician being paid to promote a food is not the same as some gaming channel shilling Blue Apron or whatever, because nobody trusts the g*mer to be an expert in nutrition.

Stuff like this is weird bc if you listen to podcasts you'd know that some companies just do massive advertising.

Like Hello Fresh seems to sponsor quite literally everyone.

Anyways, like Trump said, only fat people drink Diet Coke, so who cares.
