Dangerous Diet Culture And Nutrition Myths Part 2
The diet and wellness industries peddle a lot of bad information
Welcome back to part 2 of my series designed to mythbust a lot of the rubbish out there in the world of nutrition. Unfortunately, most of it is perpetuated by the diet, fitness or “wellness” industries who have something to sell us. It’s frequently just plain wrong and makes knowing how to eat a healthy, balanced diet even more challenging.
A Word Before We Start
If you want to catch up on the first 5 myths check them out here. In order for us to make informed decisions about our health, we need information on nutrition. However, there’s no getting away from the fact that for some, healthy eating is difficult. It’s substantially cheaper (here in the UK anyway) to live on a diet of fish fingers, burgers, oven chips and beans than it is to buy fresh meat, fruits and vegetables.
This post is not intended to shame anyone who struggles to afford a balanced diet. It’s not intended to shame someone who chooses not to. It’s your life, and I’m in no position to judge anyone. I am purely trying to give factual information to combat all the crap out there so you can make your decisions.
