BodyTalks: Healthism and Pressure to "Eat Right"

Body Talks is a conversation series about the intersections of body image and health offered in collaboration between Student Health and Wellness, the Gender Equity Centre and Pride Central.

This guided discussion led by Dr. Barbara Parker will revolve around healthism (responsibility for health) in relation to the pressures to "eat right", the moral imperative to choose 'good' foods, in the context of university and life. Karling Draper, Registered Dietitian, from the Thunder Bay District Health Unit, will also join the session.

Refreshments available for purchase.
