Listen "Filtering Nutrition Information on Social Media"

Episode Synopsis

Anna, Anna and Elizabeth discuss how a proliferation of problematic and sometimes outright false nutrition information on social media makes it increasingly difficult for parents and teens to discern good nutrition information from bad. We discuss:  The problem with popular accounts that claim they're anti-diet, weight inclusive, and aligned with Responsive Feeding, but a closer look reveals that their content is not actually aligned with these principals.  How brief sound bites such as those on Tik Tok and IG Reels aren't sufficient to provide feeding advice. The problem with messages suggesting that some foods are better than others, and the negative impact this can have on parents and kids. How encouraging parents to talk to children about food in ways that are not age appropriate only serves to confuse kids.
