[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you just need to vent or did you have a question?[/quote] I have a question: how do you deal with older family members trying to talk about diet culture? [/quote] OK, that is too meta. Discussions of what you do and don't eat, what other people do and don't eat, what you or they "should" eat -- that is diet culture. Nonstop focus on what people eat and how that affects weight is diet culture. So you and your mother are both immersed in diet culture. HTH. Stop opining on her diet. Stop thinking about what she eats beyond how it affects your menu-planning. You're not her doctor or her dietician. If starts trying to drag you into diet discussions, shut that down: "Mom, you have a doctor who advises you on what to eat. I have a doctor who advises me on what to eat. Larla has a doctor who advises us -- by which I mean Larla and her parents, not her grandparents -- on what she should eat. Let's all stay in our lanes."[/quote]
