Diet Culture: A Modern Twist on Racism and Puritanical Thinking
Modern dieting and beauty standards originated from puritanical Protestantism: fasting, self-discipline, and self-denial of earthly pleasures were established as a mark of righteousness and superiority.
In contrast, European colonists and race scientists attributed gluttony, sloth, and ignorance to black slaves. In that way, fatness was made to symbolize unintelligence, immorality, and “blackness.”
Isn’t it time to break free from the racist and Puritanical thinking of diet culture?
Meet Melissa
On a mission to end diet culture
The health and wellness industry spends billions of dollars selling the lie that an airbrushed body is the only way to achieve health and happiness.

It’s time to break free from the influence of diet culture.

It’s time to learn the truth about what it means to be healthy.
