If we want a better world, we’ve got to kill diet culture. | Susan Hyatt | TEDxFargo

[@BethGraves]

Brilliant! "When women diet the whole world loses!" Thank you Susan Hyatt

[@arbuziki]

Didn't it occur to you, that she's clearly on a diet? Sweet lies for plebs as usual

[@defaultworkouts]

diets don't work but a woman should care about her appearance. to say otherwise is a lie straight up

[@WeatherMondacicci]

​@@defaultworkouts Why should women have to care about her appearance when men can look like total slobs? No woman is obligated to do what you say or want them to do. So stop the double standards.

[@defaultworkouts]

@@WeatherMondacicci men are valued based on wealth and power and accomplishments. women are valued based on youth beauty and chastity. that's just how it is.

This is so true! Diet culture keeps women small!!!

[@mhmtakeyatime9000]

Keeping small? what do you mean like being thin or normal weight?

[@HelloSeven]

Amazing message! Diet culture is slowing the progress of our world down! This is so important.

[@DavidJohnson-dp4vv]

I think you mean obesity.

Everyone has a diet and should maintain a sustainable diet compared to their calorie expenditure. Starvation diets and fad diets are the real problem. Quick fix instant gratification culture is the bigger issue

[@Cmarker38751]

Wow this was thoughtful and thought provoking.

[@theboojiefarmer]

Awesome message!! Shared into my FB - I’d like to encourage others to share her talk also....Let’s make 2020 the year to end Diet Culture ☺️

[@SP-kk5nj]

An astronaut weighing their food and themselves isn’t the best analogy here. She didn’t think that one through!

[@tracyraven7444]

😂😂😂😂

[@Awaken218]

She was comparing that not because of the job, but the importance of the job. Women in the workplace have important jobs that we are not focused on because we’re so busy focusing on losing weight. How can we do our jobs as well if all of our energy and mind power is focused somewhere else?

[@ScottHyatt]

Love it! Absolutely brilliant!

[@cynthiaokelly8517]

Good on you Susan Hyatt! Great message!

[@nataliemuy]

Every time you used a gender word, replace that with “people” or “they” and that would make this entire talk be more relatable to everyone.

[@sunnex474]

Like how she acts like men don’t even exist or make a difference in the world

[@saiyaara555]

true. so many men suffer from diet culture. it's just that statistically women are more subject to negative body images, and are encouraged to go on dangerously restrictive diets and are congratulated when they look like a twig about to die off at any second. comparatively, most men are encouraged to look more muscular, stronger, bigger going on food choices that allow for a lot of good protein. not saying that bodybuilding can't create body dysmorphia and food restriction, but the intensity definitely varies.

[@thecaptain5026]

@@saiyaara555 Also, woman will proudly tell you that they won't date men under a certain length.

[@pandashazz27]

Totally agree. Men also suffer with this now.

[@mylittleocchio]

Thank you for the work you do.

[@veronikaroskova633]

I'm sure that you had good intentions but you can be both at the same time. You can be succesful and on a diet. Losing weight takes me only a bit of time and energy. Measuring food/calorie counting takes only a few minutes everyday. I make my meal plans every 3 days, creating one takes 10 minutes. Cooking takes more time but i would be doing that anyway if i didn't want to starve to death. Workout takes half an hour, and you don't need to do that everyday. So you still have a plenty of time and energy to pursue your other, more important goals.

[@PeteS_1994]

It depends on the individuals mental health

[@aditiheda]

Losing weight for your health and loosing weight to fit in are two very different things and we need to stop the cycle of losing weight to fit in.

It's just as bad as "junk food" culture in my opinion. I know she is not promoting unhealthy eating, but not every diet is bad. Not every restriction is bad. Sometimes we need to tell outselves "no more chocolate for today" or something like that right?

[@jojodogface898]

As a man, I'm so glad that we don't have to grapple with any of this, and that we, as men, aren't as important as women
