But why is diet culture so pervasive and what, if anything, we can do about it?
Clemmie and Alex cover a lot in this episode: diet culture, body image, how depressing normalised ‘disordered eating’ is - and how we can be looking for ways to move on from it towards of a place of greater self acceptance.
The conversation also covers Nikki Grahame's tragic recent death by anorexia. Specifically what it teaches us about this hugely misrepresented illness.
During the episode the pair mention:
