Under the new rules of social media, we are not what we eat, but
rather what others believe we eat. Social media is a major part of
modern life. Most of us can't imagine not using it, and it's
unrealistic to assume that's even possible. Platforms like
Instagram, Twitter and Facebook haven't been around long, but they
have already made far-reaching impacts on our health and wellbeing.
We are only just beginning to understand the influence these
platforms have over our decisions around food and health, with many
of these processes happening without our being aware. But maybe we
should be aware. From influencers deciding what foods we buy to
government policy, via food shaming and comparison envy, activism
and extremism, the role social media plays is now undeniable. In
The Insta-Food Diet, registered nutritionist Pixie Turner will
guide you through the various ways social media has affected our
food choices, our restaurants, and our food policy. By the end,
you'll be armed with knowledge and tactics, so you can take back
control and make social media work for you.
