Never Take 'Health' Advice From This Fat Activist | Virgie Tovar

Virgie Tovar is an "anti diet" Fat Activist with some opinions about health and eating.

Her definition of health is at: 6:52
PS: My favourite part of the video is at 8:36.

Not only does Virgie Tovar shun "diet culture", but also condemns any efforts to moderate your food intake whatsoever. Claiming that the only reason someone would practice portion control - is vanity imposed by patriarchy and "internalized fatphobia".

We discuss how a healthy relationship with food differs from Virgie's definition, what a healthy relationship with food actually looks like, and of course Virgie's CRFI / "Take the Cake" video.

(It's a little bit old but, I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page with who Virgie Tovar is - for when we inevitably discuss her in the future lol)

I think we can all agree that everyone deserves to love their body as it is, but I don't believe that's possible if we delude ourselves into thinking that health is a societal construct and there aren't consequences for overeating, nutrient devoid foods.
