Avoiding weight stigma & addressing anti-fat bias

Hi all, I am a weight-inclusive, fat-positive dietitian, and relatively new to CFHL. One big challenge I’m facing is the lack of weight-inclusive and food neutral curricula available among the state-approved curricula list. One thing I’ve found that works well is introducing weight stigma and anti-fat bias from a DEI lens.

I would love to see CFHL as a whole shift from the current weight-centric model (healthy = low weight; promoting weight loss and food rules is the answer) to a weight-inclusive model (healthy = looks different for everyone; promoting holistic wellbeing; body diversity is normal and celebrated).

A resource to share:

Looking forward to connecting with others who are interested in supporting this change!
