Episode 26: Impacts of Diet Culture on School-aged Kids

The school year is upon us which raises several questions on the adversities that adolescent students deal with. As a student, these questions pop in and out throughout the school year, and in particular one question that is often on people’s minds is how do I perceive my relationship with food?

In today’s episode, Jessica brings Jen, who is a student counsellor, onto the show to discuss how school-age children perceive their relationship with food in the body.

Additionally, they also traverse the realms of sexualization seen on social media. Both highlight not only the milestones that sexualization has achieved, but also points out regressive downturns.
