“I love both of the hosts, and own their collaborative pregnancy book. It’s just such a beautiful little community that’s been cultivated! But to be completely honest, it’s a huge turn off hearing constant unintentional diet culture remarks that I don’t think they realize they are even making. It’s definitely an industry thing, I’m sure. But there is so much constant chatter about eating bad foods, “ treating themselves” to “junk food”, cutting peanut butter cups into multiple pieces to share between the kids. Mark being a tyrant over junk food, feeling good about themselves when they eat avocado toast etc. etc. And in a world where women are trying to reclaim the antiquated idea that our worth revolves around what we’ve eaten for a day, it’s a challenging message that they keep sharing. Particularly when this podcast centres around motherhood, and they both have daughters. I’m in my late 30s, so this is also something I grew up with myself. But aren’t we trying to change things here? Can we please stop talking about food intake as if it impacts our value as women? It gives major orthorexia vibes. And I’m saying that as somebody who is a wellness educator, and in the holistic health space. With that said, I really do love the podcast.”
