quotes from Run The Turkey Trot, but Don’t fall for diet culture

“I spoke about this with registered dietician Casey Bonano, who has seen firsthand how detrimental diet talk can be for everyone, including those with eating disorders.

“There is nothing we need to do besides being alive to deserve and earn food,” said Bonano, founder and CEO of Dallas Nutritional Counseling. “The Thanksgiving meal is only one meal. Yes, sometimes it may be larger than our typical meal or even include foods we don’t eat as often, but ultimately it is only one meal. It just doesn’t have that much power.””
