"Big Food's Influence on Anti-Diet Messaging: A Cause for Concern"

Social media influencers are promoting an "anti-diet" movement to combat food shaming, but a joint investigation found that major food companies, including General Mills, are paying online dietitians to promote highly processed foods. This marketing strategy has raised concerns about the accuracy of nutritional information and the influence on consumers' eating habits. The FTC has taken action on influencer partnerships, and the FDA is considering additional labeling regulations. It's recommended to approach social media with skepticism and seek dietary advice from healthcare professionals rather than online influencers.

"Big Food's 'Anti-Diet' Agenda: Unveiling the Truth Behind Dietitians' Advice"

The "anti-diet" movement, aimed at combating weight stigma and promoting health at every size, has gained traction on social media, but is now being co-opted by global food marketers and some registered dietitians backed by food companies. General Mills, in particular, has launched a campaign capitalizing on anti-diet teachings, while influencers promote sugary snacks and cereals. Critics argue that the movement shifts accountability away from the food industry for creating unhealthy ultra-processed foods, and that the spread of anti-diet messaging, coupled with the food industry's support, is alarming in the face of rising obesity rates and related health concerns.
