Why Weight? Workshop

The Food Mind Collaboration

A presentation and facilitated discussion on how diet culture has evolved, the tactics behind this lucrative juggernaut and misinformation.

19 Sicklefield Rd

<h2>Why Weight? Workshop</h2><p>Weight loss is a billion-dollar industry that capitalises on concerns around body image. For decades, fad diets have dominated this space. Now, new medications are in the spotlight, and the food industry is once again having to pivot to protect its profits. We’re seeing a surge in “healthy” processed foods, carefully marketed to align with whatever the current trend happens to be. While one part of the system is focused on weight loss, another is working just as hard in the opposite direction. Fast food is everywhere. It’s convenient, heavily marketed, and often designed to be hard to resist. Social media meanwhile is constantly serving up new food trends, “must-try” products, and viral recipes.</p><p>In this workshop we will look at how diet culture has evolved, the tactics behind this lucrative juggernaut and the plethora of misinformation. After the initial presentation, we will break for a brief morning tea before sharing our thoughts and/or experiences through facilitated discussion. Everyone is welcome. This event offers a great opportunity to connect with others and hear different views.</p>
