Diet culture and Buddhism?

“I absolutely love Tara’s podcasts. I have been an avid listener for the last six years plus.
She is a remarkable in her talks and podcasts. She weaves Buddhists teachings in such a way that it relates so aptly to our American daily lives. I liken her to a young Pema Chrodron. Both of these teachers are undoubtedly the best at really getting to the heart of people’s struggles in life. No doubt the best!
The only guest I find problematic on her show and he has been on several times is Judson Brewer who on the latest podcast.
I find it disheartening and upsetting that he uses mindfulness and Buddhism to market and sell his products. From his Eat Right Now app- which is a monthly subscription you pay for and is basically a diet to his books which are books on dieting and restricting. He advises eating only certain foods.
He demonizes sugar and carbohydrates.
He obviously has to market his book and go on his friend’s shows to help sell his book. In my opinion,
I do not think dieting or concern about body weight, is connected to Buddhist teachings or as Tara’s calls it the two wings of mindfulness: self love and acceptance and compassion for yourself and others.
With that said, I wholeheartedly recommend her podcast. If you struggle with restricted eating I highly suggest skipping this particular podcast.”
