Live Webinar
Parallels Between Diet Culture and Fascism
Unpacking control, conformity, and the cost of compliance
Description:
What if the systems that shape how we feel about our bodies are rooted in something far deeper than “health”?
In this webinar, we’ll explore the striking parallels between diet culture and fascism: two systems built on control, fear, and conformity. We’ll break down how both idealize certain bodies, punish non-conformity, erase diversity, and profit from our insecurities, while promising a better life in exchange for obedience.
Together we’ll examine:
Obsession with control and discipline
Glorification of an idealized body
Punishment for non-conformity
Erasure of diversity
Selling the illusion of a perfect world
Economic exploitation
Who this is for:
People tired of the shame and control baked into diet culture
Coaches, educators, and advocates committed to justice and autonomy
Anyone curious about the deeper roots of body oppression and power
No academic background required. Just curiosity, critical thinking, and care.
You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how these forces shape our culture, and how we can begin to resist them in everyday life.
