Women's magazines + the Diet Industrial Complex

Women's magazines are a big part of what I'm calling the "diet industrial complex," the overlap of media, food, and health experts that have set us up to be totally body and food obsessed, while disconnecting us from the connection to our bodies. When you are raised in this culture, you have little chance of listening to your body and trusting "her."The covers feature extreme diets to lose weight quickly, right next to food porn images of unhealthy meals.
