Today's episode is a little different. We are giving you a sneak peek at our monthly YouTube Series: Diet Culture Dumpster Fire!

This month, we dig into food safety outbreaks, the rebranding of nicotine as a "wellness" tool, military policies around gender-affirming care and hormone testing, and the broader systems that allow misinformation to spread faster than evidence.

Rather than focusing on individual choices, we explore the bigger questions: Who benefits from these narratives? What happens when ideology outweighs science? And how can we become more thoughtful consumers of health information?

• The latest Cyclospora outbreak and what it reveals about food safety systems
• Why foodborne illness isn't simply about "making better choices"
• How funding cuts impact food safety and public health
• The growing trend of marketing nicotine as a wellness or productivity tool
• Military policies around gender-affirming care and testosterone testing
• Why quick fixes often distract us from addressing systemic problems
• How diet culture and wellness misinformation thrive in environments of fear and uncertainty

Our goal isn't to tell you what to think—it's to help you ask better questions when the next wellness headline inevitably lands in your feed.
