The Diet Obsessed Podcast

Mommy Makeovers, Taking the Last Appetizer, Food Insecurity in America, Food Police & Morality Around SNAP Benefits

Veronica Santarelli

This week on The Diet Obsessed Podcast, I cover a variety of fascinating topics in my regular segments, including:

  • Betches founder gets a mommy makeover.
  • Is it rude to take the last meatball when appetizers are being passed around? 
  • Healthy Habits & Tasty Treats of the week!

In this week's podcast review, I highlighted the timely topic of food insecurity in America, as discussed on the podcast Burnt Toast when host Virginia Sole-Smith invited Rachel Cahill, an anti-hunger policy advocate to discuss the recent pause in SNAP benefits.

This unprecedented occurrence of completely shutting down benefits for this program was devastating to families all across the US for the entire month of November, traumatizing vulnerable people who rely on this program, including children, disabled people and elderly people.

This discussion had me looking at my own internal judgements when it comes to mutual aid, the morality around giving, how food choices are often policed and so much more!
