The Intersections of Diet Culture & Purity Culture | Sarah Lacour & Zach Anderson

Dec 1, 2021

In this episode, Nikki chats with Zach Anderson and Sarah Lacour about the commonalities between diet culture and purity culture.

They discuss:

• How both cultures conflate diet, exercise, and weight with morality
• The emphasis on weight loss and policing of women's bodies in both cultures
• How purity culture shows up in the language of fitness culture
• How this narrative contributes to body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and eating disorders
• Zach's experience as a gay man who grew up in the Mormon church and now works in the nutrition and fitness space
• Sarah's experience growing up in the evangelical church and the work she has done to deconstruct it
