School Letters
Diet culture is a part of a greater culture. So, unfortunately, it shows up in schools, too. The National Alliance for Eating Disorders and Sunny Side Up Nutrition have teamed up to create 5 letters for parents and guardians to help combat possible food and weight conversations.
Instead of reinventing the wheel each time diet culture shows up, or not knowing what to do, download one of our letters, personalize it, and send it to your school or child’s teacher.
Weighing children in schools has the serious potential to cause harm.
The unintentional harm is caused when school lessons/assignments focus on weight or moralize food as good or bad.
When there is interference around what “should” be eaten and/or diet based comments are made, we interfere with their children’s abilities to trust and listen to their bodies.
While school assignments do not cause eating disorders, they can be a trigger for vulnerable students.
