Policing Our Bodies: Keep Them Coming Podcast

Policing Our Bodies: The Overlap Between Purity Culture and Diet Culture

Purity Culture vs Diet Culture: Unlikely and yet verrrry cosy bedfellows.

What do they have in common?

Above all it’s about policing our bodies, disproportionaty aimed at women and those socialized as women.

And they are both rooted in American Protestant beliefs and values of self-denial, capitalism, fear of the erotic, discipline, suffering in order to attain worthiness, and controlling bodies.

I’d love you to check out this podcast interview I recorded with my awesome friend Kristen Thomas – as we riff about our shared experiences in Purity Culture, diet culture, and in the holistic world too.

We chatted about the links between diet and purity culture and how people, especially women, continue to police their bodies even after deconstructing their upbringing.
