When I was vegan, I started to believe that I could cure anything if I just ate well enough. 

 Kriss Carr used a plant-based diet in her battle against cancer. Dr. Esselstyn wrote about how a plant-based approach can prevent and reverse heart disease. Dr. Fuhrman suggests that you can speed up your recovery to the common cold by eating plant-based.

Every holistic person I encountered had some elaborate concoction for curing any ailment:

"Oh, are you knees hurting? You should avoid nightshade vegetables and drink cinnamon." 

"You're getting sick? Take this green drink with a ton of ginger and garlic"

It felt like information overload. It felt like I was personally responsible for anything bad that happened to my body.

Here's why being an athlete makes you good at being body positive.

In last week's post, I posted a video from Anita Sarkeesian about "choice feminism." 

She mentioned this idea that we live in "systems." While it feels like we have space to make some personal choice, these choices have parameters.

But, what does all this have to do with body image?
