Eating to Flourish

What does it look like to eat mindfully in ways that help our bodies thrive as God intended? Listen in on nutrition counselor Courtney Bascom and author Jane Grizzle who shared at our Vintage Lunch recently.

“Diet Culture is a system of beliefs that equates thinness with health and even moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others.” Christy Harrison, Anti-Diet
“In the same way that your religion becomes your identity, your dietary practices and rituals and your beliefs about which foods are clean and unclean become who you are … there’s a poisonous kind of religious belief in which whenever you’re failing or whenever you’re unhappy it’s because you’re not being holy enough. And so you pray more, you sacrifice more, you self-flagellate more, and that can be an endless cycle where you feel worse and worse.”- Dr. Alan Levinovitz
“Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”- Acts 10:15
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.”- Galatians 5:1
