The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation created t-shirts with a quote from my book with @KevinH_PhD!

They're available at the Academy's Foundation booth at FNCE® in Texas at the end of this month, and proceeds support the Foundation’s work. #FNCE #AcademyFoundation

One of the key messages of #diet culture is that eating well is something you choose to do each day.

But what if the problem isn't your choices but the food environment around you?

For decades, ppl have talked about the toxic food environment and how it’s stacked against most people.

For decades, little’s changed policy-wise.

I increasingly think there’s only one way out.

That way is litigation.
