Hi pals, A conversation on TikTok is suggesting the microtrend era we've come to love to hate, is seemingly over. But that doesn't mean trends are dead. We discuss this shift and reference fashion analyst Mandy Lee's TikTok on the subject. Underconsumption core is also trending at the moment. Will this stick around or is it just 2024's version of deinfluencing? Plus, when it comes to fashion influencers, should we be expecting more of them? We reference this TikTok by user Rian Phin and Viv Chen's substack The Molehill. Next, "fruity boys" i.e. straight men with traditionally feminine qualities, are the subject of internet discourse thanks to a Dazed article How Fruity Boys Became The New Soft Boys by Halima Jibril. We discuss their appeal, the issues with it, and the subsequent TikTok sound that's popped up in response. In recommendations, Maggie loved an episode of This American Life, 24 Hours at the Golden Apple while Jas enjoyed When The Collective Taste Doesn't Include You by Corinne Fay for her fashion newsletter Big Undies.

It's the first episode of a brand new year, and in this episode I'm talking about the Ins and Outs lists that we've been seeing all over social media. As well as sharing my own list, which includes beauty, social media etiquette and gatekeeping – I want to bring it back! – I share some ins and outs from other fashion and beauty names, including former guest Mandy Lee, the fashion writer and analyst who's also known as @oldloserinbrooklyn. I also share some comments from Kirbie Johnson, co-host of the Gloss Angeles podcast. Of course, I also want to know your ins and outs – or, tell me if you're over these lists already! DM me @beautymepodcast on Instagram or X and let me know. For me the lists are a bit of fun but can also be useful in the sense that it doesn't hurt to think about our habits from time to time, and see if we might want to change something. If you're listening on Spotify be sure to add your ins and outs in the poll on the show page! Above all else, I hope you enjoyed this episode. If you did, it would be great if you could review, share and subscribe. See you next time!

In episode 291, Kestrel welcomes Abby Mills, aka @abbyontheinternet, to the show. A product designer working in tech in the San Francisco Bay Area, Abby is a style enthusiast, thrifter, beginner sewist, and a slow fashion + sustainability advocate. “If we're talking about the original definition of de-influencing, I think it's great that more people are talking about this. There's a wider conversation that's happening now, and it's this newer idea to a more mainstream audience. And I think that a lot of people are craving this conversation. I think there's a strong response because people are pretty sick of being advertised to — they're craving the substance, they're craving this authenticity, they're craving people with a unique point of view.” -Abby You have most likely heard about this week's topic – DE-INFLUENCING. It's something that started trending over on TikTok earlier this year, and has taken on many forms since then. In its origins, it was about becoming more critical about the things that we buy – and it started when a lot of so-called influencers started telling folks what NOT to buy, instead of their typical MO which is to focus on selling us things from their brand partners – things we more often than not, don't need. This is a refreshing idea – I mean, our feeds are flooded with sponcon these days. Apparently traditional influencer marketing was a $16.4 billion industry last year, and we are becoming increasingly aware of how much we are being marketed to on a constant basis. But while the initial concept of de-influencing is refreshing, it's definitely not new. There are several *influencers* or *content creators* who have been talking about issues around overconsumption and fast fashion and buying less for years now. Insert writer Aja Barber or creator Heidi Kaluza or drag queen Kimberly Clark – who was doing anti-hauls on YouTube 7 years ago, or this week's guest – who sometimes calls herself an ex-influencer. Over the last couple of months, we have seen the meaning of de-influencer shift rapidly. It's gone from being about critiquing our consumerist society to instead, being co-opted by influencers and marketers as an opportunity to share why you shouldn't buy this product and instead, you should just buy that product! Before we dive deep into all these layers – let's take a step back and momentarily examine what the origins of the influencer industry were all about. This week's guest reminds us that the influencer industry was built off of the idea that folks trust the authenticity of everyday people, aka influencers, more than actual brands. But, aren't we all struggling to trust *influencers* today? Aren't we regularly overwhelmed with searching for some sort of authenticity, because so much of the content we consume was created, solely because someone was paid to create it? As this week's guest proposes – if influencers were actually doing their jobs (which includes being truthful and honest with their communities), would the de-influencing trend even exist? If you can't tell yet, we go down a labyrinth of a rabbit hole with this one – but a lot of the discussion circles back to this primary question — Can de-influencing help us combat overconsumption? Quotes & links from the conversation: “Deinfluencing EXPLAINED Sustainability, Overconsumption, & Deifluencers” — video by Queer Brown Vegan that Kestrel mentions “The new TikTok trend is convincing people not to buy things”, article in The Washington Post that Kestrel mentions “Can Social Media's New Deinfluencing Trend Really Encourage Us To Buy Less Stuff?”, article in British Vogue by Aditi Mayer that Kestrel mentions Aja Barber — one of the original folks who have been talking about de-influencing concepts (mentioned on the show) Heidi Kaluza — one of the original folks who have been talking about de-influencing concepts (mentioned on the show) Kimberly Clark — one of the original folks who have been talking about de-influencing concepts (mentioned on the show) Mandy Lee — *trend* analyst who has discussed de-influencing (mentioned on the show) “I started to understand what monetizing was all about — when I came into this industry, I naively did not understand how to get paid to be on the internet. And now, if you're a content creator or a vlogger or an influencer or whatever you call yourself — if you're monetizing, you're in the advertising industry. And this is not a judgement, you know, the advertising industry is a huge industry — there are many smart and creative people. So, it's not a judgment, but it's a fact. If you want to be paid to be on the internet and you're not being paid by your following, like through subscribers, you're part of the advertising industry.” -Abby (15:14) “That's something that I try to practice throughout many aspects of my life is allowing myself to have little moments of failures and mistakes and being kind with myself so that I can feel confident to try new things … mistakes are an integral part of the learning process. You know, they're not accidental — they really are necessary if you want to learn and you want to grow.” -Abby (49:20) Follow Abby on Instagram >

This week we chat with Mandy Lee from Misterwives!
Today's guest is Brooklyn, New York-based writer, trend forecaster, analyst and content creator Mandy Lee. If you're a regular TikTok user, then you'll likely know her as @oldloserinbrooklyn. Since focusing on fashion content in February 2021, Mandy has built up a 400,000 following in a bid to bring real research and context to her trend critiques. I really wanted to get her on the pod to basically be nosy about what life is like for a trend forecaster, so of course we're talking about her morning routine and skincare - turns out she's a major Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 fan. We also get into the murky world of plagiarism and Mandy shares her prediction for the next IT model. Clue: her mother is on one of the Real Housewives shows... Please note: there are a couple of expletives in there, and we briefly mention eating disorders. Thank you so much for listening. I would love to know what you think; do you think trends still matter? Did our chat get you thinking about whether you're the cute girl, the hot girl or something entirely different?

Food history is our history, there is no untangling the two. Industrialized food processing may be whittling away at our appreciation of how deeply certain foods are rooted in our families and culture but not everyone forgets. There are people who still lovingly employ age-old methods of food cultivation. In this episode, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors and chefs who translated their life journeys into recipes and their recipes into cookbooks. Katie Quinn’s hands-on approach has given rise to the revered tradition of fermentation. She shares highlights from her food adventures as documented in her book, Cheese, Wine, and Bread: Discovering the Magic of Fermentation in England, Italy, and France. And, Mandy Lee shares her experience of fusing foods from the East and West while living in a polarized, authoritarian culture from her personal story inspired cookbook, The Art of Escapism Cooking: A Survival Story, with Intensely Good Flavors.
On today’s episode we have Mandy Lee of Misterwives joining us! Mandy tells us about getting the band started, playing their first show at the Canal Room in NYC, getting signed to Photo Finish Records, touring with acts such as Panic! at the Disco and twenty one pilots, working on their latest live stream performance entitled Superbloom: The Live Dream, and so much more! We had SOOOO much fun chatting with Mandy and had such a good laugh, so be sure to tune into this one! The post Mandy Lee, Singer/Songwriter of Misterwives first appeared on idobi Network.

Alyssa Lyon is the Sustainable Communities Director at Pittsburgh's Green Building Alliance and Mandy Lee is the manager of the NAACP’s Centering Equity in the Sustainable Building Sector initiative. We talked to Lee and Lyon about promises the green building industry has made about social equity, and the CESBS’s efforts to make good on those in a broad, collective way. This is thanks to Jacqui Patterson, who founded the NAACP’s Environmental Justice program. The work is local, regional, and national, and it focuses on how the industry can bring, as Lyon puts it, “light and resources” to the movement and to people and communities.

It’s WAY overdue, but the 2019 Crappy Awards are finally here! 2019 was a SH*TTY year of diet culture BS, with countless examples of gaslighting opportunism from profit hungry snake oil salesman. From fashion brands and Big “O” stealing body positivity, to medical negligence and library invasions, NOTHING is sacred to the weight loss wolves hungry to make a buck off body misery! Our listeners have gathered together the MOST loathsome examples of these bottom feeding b*stards in a magnificent rant-fest of epic proportions! If you’ve had a gutful of COVID19, tune in for some truly furious take downs of the weight loss industry! I strongly advise a large quarantini and headphones for this ep as the swear-o-meter is set to high! Featuring guest judge Alyssa, our carry over champ from the 2018 awards ceremony. Who will win??? Show Notes Goodness me, we’re dealing with multiple layers of fear and uncertainty at this time. We’re going to get through this but bloody hell, what an absolute shit-fight. I hope you’re all staying safe, and that this episode and The Crappys give you a needed belly laugh. Announcement! Why should we wait until the end of the year for The Crappys? For the rest of 2020, we’re going to ‘rant as you go’. If you hear something from diet culture that really gets your goat and gets your blood boiling, you can submit a rant to me anytime. While it’s fresh, do a quick recording - around two to three minutes – introduce yourself, rant about the thing that’s pissing you off, and send it to me as an .mp3 or .mp4 to louise@untrapped.com.au. I’ll save them up until the next Crappy Awards. A warning for this episode – plenty of swearing! And without further ado, I’m going to introduce the 2019 Crappy Awards! Grab a ‘quarantini’ and let’s rant about diet culture. Alyssa won our previous Crappy Awards in 2018 with a brilliant rant about the ‘cookie diet’ and so joins us as a guest judge this year. 2019 was a huge year for crappy diet culture crap. Huge. And it’s seeped into 2020 – just a quagmire of shit to rake through to pick the crappiest of 2019. Even as a non-competing judge, Alyssa couldn’t help but submit a rant herself. Alyssa nominates the book ‘How Not to Diet’ by Dr Michael Greger. It mentioned weight loss multiple times on just the cover blurbs, and the kicker – this book is about the “ideal weight-loss diet”. IDEAL WEIGHT-LOSS DIET. In a book called ‘how not to diet’. SERIOUSLY! “A timeless proactive approach that can stand up to any new trend” … even his own new trend? There’s too many of them! “Chock full of actionable advice and groundbreaking dietary research. ‘How Not to Diet’ will put an end to dieting and replace those constant weight-loss struggles with a simple, healthy, sustainable lifestyle”. We’ve got weight-loss, weight-loss, weight-loss, then ‘lifestyle’, hence a nomination for The Crappys. Some consistency here with her 2018 winning rant objecting to being mansplained at with the ‘cookie diet’! Dr Michael Greger is another thin white male entering the ‘how not to diet’ space. Is this a joke? A how-not-to-diet-step-by-step-diet? Alyssa has some judging criteria for the official 2019 entries – laugh factor, sarcasm factor, and WTF or ‘mind blown’ factor. Entry #1 – from Anna Hearn, founder of Haven Wellness. It’s a unique fat-positive fitness and yoga studio in Sydney, Australia. Haven focuses on helping members build a compassionate relationship with their bodies which is very different to typical gym culture, and to build a resilience against diet culture out in the ‘real world’. Anna wants to rant about body positivity being co-opted for marketing purposes. Anna had a conversation with a friend who reiterated the idea that fashion brands use thin bodies because ‘that’s what sells’. But, remember campaigns like the Calvin Klein underwear ads that featured some bigger bodies, like rapper Chika? You might then think that you could go and buy Calvin Klein underwear in larger sizes – nope! Anna learned from clients that brands like Everlane and Urban Outfitters also use larger-bodied people in their advertising campaigns but then don’t carry those sizes for customers. So, they’ll use larger bodies in their campaigns but then won’t even let you buy those sizes. Profiting off body positivity while not taking care of larger bodies. Brands want to jump on the bandwagon and profit from the body positivity movement without actually doing the work to create products for larger bodies. Remember when Lorna Jane got in trouble for advertising for a receptionist who had to be a size zero? They then tried to use body positivity in their marketing campaigns, but then quickly went straight back to their regular marketing of tiny women. Entry #2 – Belinda is here to talk about libraries. Belinda loves libraries! Sauntering into the 2020 display to find some new reads for herself, she was slapped in the face with a range of new-fangled diet books and health garbage. Why does this have to invade some of the safest spaces on the planet? Belinda used to live and breathe libraries as a child. Here’s an idea – put all of these lifestyle authors on ‘Diet Island’ where they can live out the Paleo dream! It’s hard to have all this rantiness and no power, but still we do our best. Belinda urges everyone to vote out these books and instead borrow Christy Harrison’s book ‘Anti-Diet’ – ask your library to get it in! Keep the booky places happy and booky. Libraries are where we play, read, learn, expand our minds – not contract our lives! High sarcasm levels on that rant! So many beautiful mic-drop phrases as well. It’s a rare gift to be able to simultaneously rile someone up and make them laugh, but that’s what just happened for Louise with Belinda’s rant. Entry #3 – from Caroline White, the president of HAES Australia, nominating Big Pharma for co-opting the concept of weight stigma for their own purposes. In 2018 we ended on a bit of a high, with the senate committee into the ‘o’ epidemic in Australia recommending the need to eradicate weight stigma from public health campaigns, and for health professionals to understand weight stigma better. During the year, Carolynne had the opportunity to have a conversation with someone from ‘Obesity Inc’. They talked about weight stigma during that conversation, and they said that their reason for addressing weight stigma was that it was a BARRIER TO WEIGHT LOSS TREATMENTS OR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT. To that I say “no, no, no, Novo Nordisk!” You do not get to coopt the concept of weight stigma that fat activisms, fat studies and feminist scholars and other social science researchers have been studying over decades for your own financial gain. You do not get to fund expensive research studies that are weight-biased and partner with cash-strapped public health organizations to push an agenda to have a body size classified as a chronic disease. This contributes to weight stigma and reinforces the notion that weight is under an individual’s control, if not by diet and exercise but now through medication and surgery, which is fantastic for your profit margins but from a public health perspective is horrendous. It risks people receiving treatment that is expensive, unnecessary, and associated with harmful side-effects. Weight stigma is common in our society and studies suggest it is increasing. Part of the reason why it’s increasing is because of the studies that you’re funding. The solution to weight stigma is not to make people in larger bodies smaller. Weight stigma is a social justice problem that needs social solutions. That’s why in HAES Australia’s response to the national ‘O’ strategy consultation, we’ve called for weight inclusive policy that recognizes size diversity and supports the physical, mental and social health and wellbeing of all people across the weight spectrum. We also argued for including physical features as a protected characteristic under human rights legislation, and health promotion and disease prevention policy and guidelines to be free from influence from treatment industries that profit from framing body weight as a disease. Thank you to everyone who filled out the public surveys for this ‘o’ strategy in Australia – it must have come at a cost to many in a world of weight stigma. Well done, Carolynne! Riled us up perfectly. The mention of Novo Nordisk prompted a HUGE wine sip from Louise. Louise calls Carolynne the ‘velvet hammer’ for sending out messages perfectly with calm and rationality. Big Pharma pretending to care about weight stigma, and brands pretending to care about larger bodies, is the theme of The Crappys for 2019 so far. It’s mind-blowing to think that there are humans out there who are actually behind that, who feel morally that there is nothing wrong with it. Louise also wants to thank everyone who answered the HAES Australia call-out to take part in that Australian ‘o’ strategy survey. There was weight stigma hidden in every corner of it. Entry #4 – Jo is an anti-diet Registered Dietitian in the UK doing their very best to spread this message with the blog and website antidietanswers.com and on Instagram. The diet culture demon that’s up Jo’s nose is January wellness challenges! The 30-day challenges that promise you will be a whole new person by the end of the month. You know – Veganuary, Whole30, burpee challenges, ‘grow a bum by the end of January’ challenges, you know the type. There’s two reasons Jo is so pissed by these, and the first is the word ‘challenge’. A challenge is defined as ‘a call to participate in a competitive situation to decide who is superior in terms of ability or strength’. So, by their nature, if you take on one of these challenges and you can’t handle it, you are by definition less able, weak. These challenges are dangerous for our mental health because they set up that dichotomous thinking – all or nothing. And you might not have even wanted to try being vegan, you just felt pressure from others on social media! It’s diet culture masquerading as wellness yet again. There’s been lots of these challenges popping up on social media feeds, not even just January now! Seems like every charity is jumping on the bandwagon asking us to give up something or continue using something. Louise saw one where you’re not allowed to drink any water! ‘Report ad’, we’ve had enough. You could almost get a repetitive strain injury from pressing ‘block and report’ on Instagram these days. Loved Jo’s point about a challenge meaning looking for someone superior. There was a beautiful pause for effect at the start there – she’s definitely nailing the delivery. And rage in an Irish accent is awesome! (Was it Irish? Sorry if we’re wrong, Jo!). It’s awesome to know that there’s people all over the world pushing back and not taking this bullshit anymore. Entry #5 from ‘Anonymous’. Three things. The first one is: qualified dietitians with a public profile who should know better - posting things like ‘detox soup’ recipes in the middle of January. It’s the same old recipe that my Grandmother would have cooked. Who wants soup in January? Give me a break. The second one is a real doozy from a Facebook mum’s group, where someone asked how to make a complaint about a doctor. She has a family history of breast cancer and went to the doctor to ask about the BRCA genetic test and instead got a lecture from the doctor about her weight and how she “needs to go and lose some weight to protect herself from cancer”. Are you fucking kidding me? So, that’s the second one – medical professionals who just blow my head off with their bullshit. And the third one is marketing themselves as a weight-loss thing in my area. For just under $800 you can go to a two-day hypnotherapy-for-weight-loss seminar where your weight troubles will be gone forever. I have a few acquaintances that have done this, and it comes with a ridiculously restrictive diet. On the website it has things like “what’s the cost of not attending?” – “the cost of not attending: nothing will change. You’ll continue down the same frustrating road that you’re on now. Are you sick and tired of that yet?”. It’s a bunch of infuriating gaslighting bullshit. So, that’s my trifecta of misery. Stuff diet culture! Phew! It’s like we’ve gone past rage and into eye-of-the-hurricane-calm, because there was just so much crap in that entry. A fucking dietitian selling detox soup? They should know better. They should be reported to the DAA and not be able to do that with their public profile. Numbing is an interesting response, like we have to shut down because “what the actual fuck?”. Alyssa remembers once making a horrendous raw broccoli soup and doesn’t even know what was possessing her at the time, but it was one of those weird January things. It ended up being a turning point because it was so awful. Australia in January is too hot for soup! It’s so important to get an early diagnosis for breast cancer, and the weight stigma observed here is a reason that people can end up dying of breast cancer (and other conditions and diseases). Absolutely awful. Louise went in and found the hypnotherapy two-day rip-off event online and now has a special place in hell reserved for them. This might end up being a special episode of All Fired Up! Gosh, it must be so hard to have people in your life who are taking part in stuff like this. The person who did this rant is not alone – so many of us have people in our lives who are taking part in diet culture. We know there’s big power in groups (i.e. cults) and you’re more vulnerable when you’re starving – it’s deliberate. Hypnotherapy for ‘weight loss’ doesn’t work. Don’t pay them any money, report them to the ACCC for this bullshit. Entry #6 from Mandy-Lee Noble, Accredited Practicing Dietitian from Nourished Approach in Queensland. You might think Mandy-Lee would nominate a pharmaceutical group as she’s been investigating this with Louise, but instead wants to take this opportunity to talk about a different aspect of diet culture that’s got her fired up. It’s a fad diet called the hCG diet. HCG stands for ‘human chorionic gonadotropin’ hormone, that we produce during pregnancy to sustain a foetus. It mobilizes energy to provide energy to the foetus while someone’s pregnant. The diet was developed by Dr Albert Theodore William Simeons in his 1954 book ‘Pounds and Inches’ and he also published an article about it in The Lancet. So, what do you do? You inject the hCG hormone (or use an oral spray that doesn’t work at all) every day for eight weeks in conjunction with a really rigid 500 calorie diet, with claims that you’ll lose quite a lot of weight every week from areas such as the stomach where people often wish to lose weight. But, due to the hormone, the claim is that you won’t experience the irritability and hunger that you would generally experience with weight loss, and that the weight would stay off. But when you look at the protocol and see the recommendations for when you start to plateau or gain back weight, they’re so rigid. It also recommends going completely ‘oil free’ including any oils in your makeup products. Since the 50’s there have been a dozen studies that found that it absolutely doesn’t work, and the FDA had to put out a disclaimer in the 1970’s saying that it’s not tested for safety and doesn’t work. It regained popularity when good old Dr Oz promoted it on his television show. What really pissed me off about this diet is that I know some people who have followed it, because it was prescribed by an actual GP. An AHPRA registered GP. There are GP’s and pharmacists actually pushing this diet in Australia. Another glass of wine for Louise! Bloody hell. Dr Oz?! GP’s?! Did they learn about this from Dr Oz, because that’s seriously concerning. Louise has also had clients whose doctors have recommended the hCG diet to them. Unbelievable. 500 calories a day is just so low, such a brutal level of calorie restriction. REPORT YOUR GP if they try to prescribe this extremely dangerous, ineffective, damaging diet. This could kill people. This is restriction on a whole new level, it’s very unsafe and totally unreasonable. AND it’s fuck-off expensive. Entry #7 – from Martina Zangger, a 58-year old lecturer at the University of Newcastle in health behaviour sciences. Martina is very pissed off and wants to rant about a diet called Bright Line Eating™ (BLE). It’s run by a woman called Susan Pearce Thompson who has almost become a guru and has tens of thousands of followers – mostly women in their just-pre- and post- menopausal years. The program is an eight-week bootcamp that costs $900 USD, which is probably about 13-1400 Australian dollars. It’s a diet based on no sugar, no flour, measuring meals, no snacks, and weighing everything. You become extremely hangry and Martina developed orthorexia and almost developed Anorexia when she was on it. Martina is fired up about paying a lot of money to this woman Susan Pearce Thompson who is a neuropsychologist and should have known better. The idea is that flour and sugar are addicting and you can’t have anything with those ingredients in it. Being on the diet made Martina a not-very-nice person who thought she was superior to other people. She was supported by the BLE community in thinking she WAS special and that she had found ‘the answer’. The weight regain that happened afterwards was quite disheartening, however she’s now two years out of that diet and feels so much happier. She does accept her larger body and enjoys all foods, enjoys sharing foods with friends and family, and is SO ANGRY at Susan Pearce Thompson and that stupid Bright Line Eating movement. Susan must be making about three million American dollars per year with all of her programs. So that’s the rant – sending everyone love and the hope that they can walk away from diet culture and embrace their natural bodies. No one is taking our Tim Tams! No one is taking our flour or our sugar. That was heartbreaking. We’re feeling for Martina. This flour-sugar bullshit is based on the food addiction models. There’s no such thing as food addiction! There IS such thing as an increased response to restraint, which is what happens when people try to restrict certain things – you will develop an unnatural drive relationship with that substance not because of restriction but because of restraint. How do these people sleep at night? They must be in this little bubble, either a numbing bubble or one where they have no freaking idea. Or … one full of cash? And surrounded by people who worship them because of that money and say positive stuff to them. We’re in a place in diet culture where weight loss at all costs is worshiped. Poor Martina ended up with an eating disorder that she paid dearly for, financially and psychologically. We’re in a new decade now and no one should have to fall for this bullshit, no matter how it’s packaged and sold. It’s dangerous stuff. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time out of their day to record a rant and send it in here to push back. These are really meaningful acts of rebellion, and we’re loving it. We’re riding a big wave of emotion – mostly rage, and a bit of heartbreak. Judging time! Let’s run back briefly through the candidates. First, we had Anna from Haven, who was fired up about body positivity being co-opted by marketing and was talking about Calvin Klein. Then we had Belinda, and she was talking about our libraries being infiltrated by diet and wellness books, and she was going to bring forth all the rage of Harry Potter (which Louise loved). Then we had Carolynne White, president of HAES Australia, ranting about how Big Pharma are pushing to get ‘largeness’ classified as a disease so they can sell drugs for weight loss. We have no words. And then we had the lovely Joanne and her beautiful rage and rant about 30-day challenges like Veganuary. Then we had our anonymous trifecta of misery, about dietitians and their detox teas, doctors prescribing weight loss instead of providing responsible medical care, and the hypnotherapist with the completely rip-off seminar on extremely low calorie diets. Again, no words. Then we had Mandy-Lee Noble with the hCG diet, and then Martina ending us on a real low point with the Bright Lines Eating evilness. What a totally Crappy line-up. OH my goodness, what is wrong with health professionals? This is gut-wrenching. We know from weight research that the vast majority of weight stigmatizing messaging comes from health professionals. We have shitty themes from health professionals, bullshit co-opting of body positive trends by the weight loss industry, and then we have just the real evil fuckery. Alyssa wants to give a special mention to Belinda for making her laugh-cry. Alyssa’s shortlist is Carolynne, the Anonymous submission, and Mandy (can’t get past those bloody injections!). And she’s kind of changed her criteria – how much rage came up in her while listening to the rant, and how much rage came through from the entrant. And there’s a kind of ‘mind-blown’ factor. Louise recalls learning about the ‘dry fast’ on Instagram (because ‘drinking water is an addiction’), and then finding a dude-bro drinking his own urine, and how those moments are a real ‘lowering the bar’, ‘going down another level’ experience. Never say never in diet culture. And the winner is (drumroll please) … Mandy-Lee Noble with the hCG diet! Bloody GP’s that are promoting it despite the FDA saying it’s a waste of freaking time. And the oil-free makeup thing! Jeez. Congratulations, Mandy-Lee! There’s a $100 cash prize this year, which seems like nothing after everything we’ve been talking about! Someone as awesome as Mandy-Lee will put it to good use. Alyssa is excited to pass on the crown to Mandy-Lee and move forward to ‘rage on’ in 2020. The mantle has been passed to someone of extreme strength of character, rage and sarcasm. Thank you, Alyssa, for holding us steady through the bullshit of 2019. And thank you to everybody who sent in these rants! It’s a beautiful thing to hear the rage, the push-back, the ferocity that everyone has displayed. Louise would give everyone first-place. Who would have thought ranting about diet culture would be a pleasant diversion from the rest of our lives during COVID-19? Please look after yourself and your families and loved ones, even if that has to be virtual for now.

While it’s fresh, do a quick recording - around two to three minutes – introduce yourself, rant about the thing that’s pissing you off, and send it to me as an .mp3 or .mp4 to louise@untrapped.com.au. I’ll save them up until the next Crappy Awards. A warning for this episode – plenty of swearing! And without further ado, I’m going to introduce the 2019 Crappy Awards! Grab a ‘quarantini’ and let’s rant about diet culture. Alyssa won our previous Crappy Awards in 2018 with a brilliant rant about the ‘cookie diet’ and so joins us as a guest judge this year. 2019 was a huge year for crappy diet culture crap. Huge. And it’s seeped into 2020 – just a quagmire of shit to rake through to pick the crappiest of 2019. Even as a non-competing judge, Alyssa couldn’t help but submit a rant herself. Alyssa nominates the book ‘How Not to Diet’ by Dr Michael Greger. It mentioned weight loss multiple times on just the cover blurbs, and the kicker – this book is about the “ideal weight-loss diet”. IDEAL WEIGHT-LOSS DIET. In a book called ‘how not to diet’. SERIOUSLY! “A timeless proactive approach that can stand up to any new trend” … even his own new trend? There’s too many of them! “Chock full of actionable advice and groundbreaking dietary research. ‘How Not to Diet’ will put an end to dieting and replace those constant weight-loss struggles with a simple, healthy, sustainable lifestyle”. We’ve got weight-loss, weight-loss, weight-loss, then ‘lifestyle’, hence a nomination for The Crappys. Some consistency here with her 2018 winning rant objecting to being mansplained at with the ‘cookie diet’! Dr Michael Greger is another thin white male entering the ‘how not to diet’ space. Is this a joke? A how-not-to-diet-step-by-step-diet? Alyssa has some judging criteria for the official 2019 entries – laugh factor, sarcasm factor, and WTF or ‘mind blown’ factor. Entry #1 – from Anna Hearn, founder of Haven Wellness. It’s a unique fat-positive fitness and yoga studio in Sydney, Australia. Haven focuses on helping members build a compassionate relationship with their bodies which is very different to typical gym culture, and to build a resilience against diet culture out in the ‘real world’. Anna wants to rant about body positivity being co-opted for marketing purposes. Anna had a conversation with a friend who reiterated the idea that fashion brands use thin bodies because ‘that’s what sells’. But, remember campaigns like the Calvin Klein underwear ads that featured some bigger bodies, like rapper Chika? You might then think that you could go and buy Calvin Klein underwear in larger sizes – nope! Anna learned from clients that brands like Everlane and Urban Outfitters also use larger-bodied people in their advertising campaigns but then don’t carry those sizes for customers. So, they’ll use larger bodies in their campaigns but then won’t even let you buy those sizes. Profiting off body positivity while not taking care of larger bodies. Brands want to jump on the bandwagon and profit from the body positivity movement without actually doing the work to create products for larger bodies. Remember when Lorna Jane got in trouble for advertising for a receptionist who had to be a size zero? They then tried to use body positivity in their marketing campaigns, but then quickly went straight back to their regular marketing of tiny women. Entry #2 – Belinda is here to talk about libraries. Belinda loves libraries! Sauntering into the 2020 display to find some new reads for herself, she was slapped in the face with a range of new-fangled diet books and health garbage. Why does this have to invade some of the safest spaces on the planet? Belinda used to live and breathe libraries as a child. Here’s an idea – put all of these lifestyle authors on ‘Diet Island’ where they can live out the Paleo dream! It’s hard to have all this rantiness and no power, but still we do our best. Belinda urges everyone to vote out these books and instead borrow Christy Harrison’s book ‘Anti-Diet’ – ask your library to get it in! Keep the booky places happy and booky. Libraries are where we play, read, learn, expand our minds – not contract our lives! High sarcasm levels on that rant! So many beautiful mic-drop phrases as well. It’s a rare gift to be able to simultaneously rile someone up and make them laugh, but that’s what just happened for Louise with Belinda’s rant. Entry #3 – from Caroline White, the president of HAES Australia, nominating Big Pharma for co-opting the concept of weight stigma for their own purposes. In 2018 we ended on a bit of a high, with the senate committee into the ‘o’ epidemic in Australia recommending the need to eradicate weight stigma from public health campaigns, and for health professionals to understand weight stigma better. During the year, Carolynne had the opportunity to have a conversation with someone from ‘Obesity Inc’. They talked about weight stigma during that conversation, and they said that their reason for addressing weight stigma was that it was a BARRIER TO WEIGHT LOSS TREATMENTS OR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT. To that I say “no, no, no, Novo Nordisk!” You do not get to coopt the concept of weight stigma that fat activisms, fat studies and feminist scholars and other social science researchers have been studying over decades for your own financial gain. You do not get to fund expensive research studies that are weight-biased and partner with cash-strapped public health organizations to push an agenda to have a body size classified as a chronic disease. This contributes to weight stigma and reinforces the notion that weight is under an individual’s control, if not by diet and exercise but now through medication and surgery, which is fantastic for your profit margins but from a public health perspective is horrendous. It risks people receiving treatment that is expensive, unnecessary, and associated with harmful side-effects. Weight stigma is common in our society and studies suggest it is increasing. Part of the reason why it’s increasing is because of the studies that you’re funding. The solution to weight stigma is not to make people in larger bodies smaller. Weight stigma is a social justice problem that needs social solutions. That’s why in HAES Australia’s response to the national ‘O’ strategy consultation, we’ve called for weight inclusive policy that recognizes size diversity and supports the physical, mental and social health and wellbeing of all people across the weight spectrum. We also argued for including physical features as a protected characteristic under human rights legislation, and health promotion and disease prevention policy and guidelines to be free from influence from treatment industries that profit from framing body weight as a disease. Thank you to everyone who filled out the public surveys for this ‘o’ strategy in Australia – it must have come at a cost to many in a world of weight stigma. Well done, Carolynne! Riled us up perfectly. The mention of Novo Nordisk prompted a HUGE wine sip from Louise. Louise calls Carolynne the ‘velvet hammer’ for sending out messages perfectly with calm and rationality. Big Pharma pretending to care about weight stigma, and brands pretending to care about larger bodies, is the theme of The Crappys for 2019 so far. It’s mind-blowing to think that there are humans out there who are actually behind that, who feel morally that there is nothing wrong with it. Louise also wants to thank everyone who answered the HAES Australia call-out to take part in that Australian ‘o’ strategy survey. There was weight stigma hidden in every corner of it. Entry #4 – Jo is an anti-diet Registered Dietitian in the UK doing their very best to spread this message with the blog and website antidietanswers.com and on Instagram. The diet culture demon that’s up Jo’s nose is January wellness challenges! The 30-day challenges that promise you will be a whole new person by the end of the month. You know – Veganuary, Whole30, burpee challenges, ‘grow a bum by the end of January’ challenges, you know the type. There’s two reasons Jo is so pissed by these, and the first is the word ‘challenge’. A challenge is defined as ‘a call to participate in a competitive situation to decide who is superior in terms of ability or strength’. So, by their nature, if you take on one of these challenges and you can’t handle it, you are by definition less able, weak. These challenges are dangerous for our mental health because they set up that dichotomous thinking – all or nothing. And you might not have even wanted to try being vegan, you just felt pressure from others on social media! It’s diet culture masquerading as wellness yet again. There’s been lots of these challenges popping up on social media feeds, not even just January now! Seems like every charity is jumping on the bandwagon asking us to give up something or continue using something. Louise saw one where you’re not allowed to drink any water! ‘Report ad’, we’ve had enough. You could almost get a repetitive strain injury from pressing ‘block and report’ on Instagram these days. Loved Jo’s point about a challenge meaning looking for someone superior. There was a beautiful pause for effect at the start there – she’s definitely nailing the delivery. And rage in an Irish accent is awesome! (Was it Irish? Sorry if we’re wrong, Jo!). It’s awesome to know that there’s people all over the world pushing back and not taking this bullshit anymore. Entry #5 from ‘Anonymous’. Three things. The first one is: qualified dietitians with a public profile who should know better - posting things like ‘detox soup’ recipes in the middle of January. It’s the same old recipe that my Grandmother would have cooked. Who wants soup in January? Give me a break. The second one is a real doozy from a Facebook mum’s group, where someone asked how to make a complaint about a doctor. She has a family history of breast cancer and went to the doctor to ask about the BRCA genetic test and instead got a lecture from the doctor about her weight and how she “needs to go and lose some weight to protect herself from cancer”. Are you fucking kidding me? So, that’s the second one – medical professionals who just blow my head off with their bullshit. And the third one is marketing themselves as a weight-loss thing in my area. For just under $800 you can go to a two-day hypnotherapy-for-weight-loss seminar where your weight troubles will be gone forever. I have a few acquaintances that have done this, and it comes with a ridiculously restrictive diet. On the website it has things like “what’s the cost of not attending?” – “the cost of not attending: nothing will change. You’ll continue down the same frustrating road that you’re on now. Are you sick and tired of that yet?”. It’s a bunch of infuriating gaslighting bullshit. So, that’s my trifecta of misery. Stuff diet culture! Phew! It’s like we’ve gone past rage and into eye-of-the-hurricane-calm, because there was just so much crap in that entry. A fucking dietitian selling detox soup? They should know better. They should be reported to the DAA and not be able to do that with their public profile. Numbing is an interesting response, like we have to shut down because “what the actual fuck?”. Alyssa remembers once making a horrendous raw broccoli soup and doesn’t even know what was possessing her at the time, but it was one of those weird January things. It ended up being a turning point because it was so awful. Australia in January is too hot for soup! It’s so important to get an early diagnosis for breast cancer, and the weight stigma observed here is a reason that people can end up dying of breast cancer (and other conditions and diseases). Absolutely awful. Louise went in and found the hypnotherapy two-day rip-off event online and now has a special place in hell reserved for them. This might end up being a special episode of All Fired Up! Gosh, it must be so hard to have people in your life who are taking part in stuff like this. The person who did this rant is not alone – so many of us have people in our lives who are taking part in diet culture. We know there’s big power in groups (i.e. cults) and you’re more vulnerable when you’re starving – it’s deliberate. Hypnotherapy for ‘weight loss’ doesn’t work. Don’t pay them any money, report them to the ACCC for this bullshit. Entry #6 from Mandy-Lee Noble, Accredited Practicing Dietitian from Nourished Approach in Queensland. You might think Mandy-Lee would nominate a pharmaceutical group as she’s been investigating this with Louise, but instead wants to take this opportunity to talk about a different aspect of diet culture that’s got her fired up. It’s a fad diet called the hCG diet. HCG stands for ‘human chorionic gonadotropin’ hormone, that we produce during pregnancy to sustain a foetus. It mobilizes energy to provide energy to the foetus while someone’s pregnant. The diet was developed by Dr Albert Theodore William Simeons in his 1954 book ‘Pounds and Inches’ and he also published an article about it in The Lancet. So, what do you do? You inject the hCG hormone (or use an oral spray that doesn’t work at all) every day for eight weeks in conjunction with a really rigid 500 calorie diet, with claims that you’ll lose quite a lot of weight every week from areas such as the stomach where people often wish to lose weight. But, due to the hormone, the claim is that you won’t experience the irritability and hunger that you would generally experience with weight loss, and that the weight would stay off. But when you look at the protocol and see the recommendations for when you start to plateau or gain back weight, they’re so rigid. It also recommends going completely ‘oil free’ including any oils in your makeup products. Since the 50’s there have been a dozen studies that found that it absolutely doesn’t work, and the FDA had to put out a disclaimer in the 1970’s saying that it’s not tested for safety and doesn’t work. It regained popularity when good old Dr Oz promoted it on his television show. What really pissed me off about this diet is that I know some people who have followed it, because it was prescribed by an actual GP. An AHPRA registered GP. There are GP’s and pharmacists actually pushing this diet in Australia. Another glass of wine for Louise! Bloody hell. Dr Oz?! GP’s?! Did they learn about this from Dr Oz, because that’s seriously concerning. Louise has also had clients whose doctors have recommended the hCG diet to them. Unbelievable. 500 calories a day is just so low, such a brutal level of calorie restriction. REPORT YOUR GP if they try to prescribe this extremely dangerous, ineffective, damaging diet. This could kill people. This is restriction on a whole new level, it’s very unsafe and totally unreasonable. AND it’s fuck-off expensive. Entry #7 – from Martina Zangger, a 58-year old lecturer at the University of Newcastle in health behaviour sciences. Martina is very pissed off and wants to rant about a diet called Bright Line Eating™ (BLE). It’s run by a woman called Susan Pearce Thompson who has almost become a guru and has tens of thousands of followers – mostly women in their just-pre- and post- menopausal years. The program is an eight-week bootcamp that costs $900 USD, which is probably about 13-1400 Australian dollars. It’s a diet based on no sugar, no flour, measuring meals, no snacks, and weighing everything. You become extremely hangry and Martina developed orthorexia and almost developed Anorexia when she was on it. Martina is fired up about paying a lot of money to this woman Susan Pearce Thompson who is a neuropsychologist and should have known better. The idea is that flour and sugar are addicting and you can’t have anything with those ingredients in it. Being on the diet made Martina a not-very-nice person who thought she was superior to other people. She was supported by the BLE community in thinking she WAS special and that she had found ‘the answer’. The weight regain that happened afterwards was quite disheartening, however she’s now two years out of that diet and feels so much happier. She does accept her larger body and enjoys all foods, enjoys sharing foods with friends and family, and is SO ANGRY at Susan Pearce Thompson and that stupid Bright Line Eating movement. Susan must be making about three million American dollars per year with all of her programs. So that’s the rant – sending everyone love and the hope that they can walk away from diet culture and embrace their natural bodies. No one is taking our Tim Tams! No one is taking our flour or our sugar. That was heartbreaking. We’re feeling for Martina. This flour-sugar bullshit is based on the food addiction models. There’s no such thing as food addiction! There IS such thing as an increased response to restraint, which is what happens when people try to restrict certain things – you will develop an unnatural drive relationship with that substance not because of restriction but because of restraint. How do these people sleep at night? They must be in this little bubble, either a numbing bubble or one where they have no freaking idea. Or … one full of cash? And surrounded by people who worship them because of that money and say positive stuff to them. We’re in a place in diet culture where weight loss at all costs is worshiped. Poor Martina ended up with an eating disorder that she paid dearly for, financially and psychologically. We’re in a new decade now and no one should have to fall for this bullshit, no matter how it’s packaged and sold. It’s dangerous stuff. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time out of their day to record a rant and send it in here to push back. These are really meaningful acts of rebellion, and we’re loving it. We’re riding a big wave of emotion – mostly rage, and a bit of heartbreak. Judging time! Let’s run back briefly through the candidates. First, we had Anna from Haven, who was fired up about body positivity being co-opted by marketing and was talking about Calvin Klein. Then we had Belinda, and she was talking about our libraries being infiltrated by diet and wellness books, and she was going to bring forth all the rage of Harry Potter (which Louise loved). Then we had Carolynne White, president of HAES Australia, ranting about how Big Pharma are pushing to get ‘largeness’ classified as a disease so they can sell drugs for weight loss. We have no words. And then we had the lovely Joanne and her beautiful rage and rant about 30-day challenges like Veganuary. Then we had our anonymous trifecta of misery, about dietitians and their detox teas, doctors prescribing weight loss instead of providing responsible medical care, and the hypnotherapist with the completely rip-off seminar on extremely low calorie diets. Again, no words. Then we had Mandy-Lee Noble with the hCG diet, and then Martina ending us on a real low point with the Bright Lines Eating evilness. What a totally Crappy line-up. OH my goodness, what is wrong with health professionals? This is gut-wrenching. We know from weight research that the vast majority of weight stigmatizing messaging comes from health professionals. We have shitty themes from health professionals, bullshit co-opting of body positive trends by the weight loss industry, and then we have just the real evil fuckery. Alyssa wants to give a special mention to Belinda for making her laugh-cry. Alyssa’s shortlist is Carolynne, the Anonymous submission, and Mandy (can’t get past those bloody injections!). And she’s kind of changed her criteria – how much rage came up in her while listening to the rant, and how much rage came through from the entrant. And there’s a kind of ‘mind-blown’ factor. Louise recalls learning about the ‘dry fast’ on Instagram (because ‘drinking water is an addiction’), and then finding a dude-bro drinking his own urine, and how those moments are a real ‘lowering the bar’, ‘going down another level’ experience. Never say never in diet culture. And the winner is (drumroll please) … Mandy-Lee Noble with the hCG diet! Bloody GP’s that are promoting it despite the FDA saying it’s a waste of freaking time. And the oil-free makeup thing! Jeez. Congratulations, Mandy-Lee! There’s a $100 cash prize this year, which seems like nothing after everything we’ve been talking about! Someone as awesome as Mandy-Lee will put it to good use. Alyssa is excited to pass on the crown to Mandy-Lee and move forward to ‘rage on’ in 2020. The mantle has been passed to someone of extreme strength of character, rage and sarcasm. Thank you, Alyssa, for holding us steady through the bullshit of 2019. And thank you to everybody who sent in these rants! It’s a beautiful thing to hear the rage, the push-back, the ferocity that everyone has displayed. Louise would give everyone first-place. Who would have thought ranting about diet culture would be a pleasant diversion from the rest of our lives during COVID-19? Please look after yourself and your families and loved ones, even if that has to be virtual for now.

Special guests will include, Scott Pagel, Teresa Miguel-Stearns, Frank Houdek, and Darin Fox, current and past members of the ABA Data Policy and Collection Committee and noted experts in law library data and statistics. Regular line up of co-hosts and pundits includes: Ken Hirsh, Elizabeth Farrell Clifford, Roger Skalbeck, Mandy Lee, and Greg Lambert. By some objective measures, academic law libraries are “disappearing” before our very eyes. The ABA Annual Questionnaire may have no law library questions next year and Self Study/SEQs now only contain about ten questions regarding the library! (In the past year I served on two site teams and the report template that I completed last month was smaller than the one I did last year!) Does it mean we’re less important? Nope. Not by a long shot. Other indicators show strong evidence that law libraries in law schools are more important and popular than ever before. Topics that will be considered are how the center of gravity is shifting away from objective measures of what is a law library, to subjective ones that emphasize services that we provide to our institutions. Anecdotally, it seems that law libraries are as popular as ever and are providing many expanded services, such as managing digital publication in law schools, PERMA, developing digitization of primary materials, expanded teaching throughout curricula via specialized research classes, etc., etc. But on paper, in the ABA Questionnaire, SEQ, etc., it seems we’re disappearing.

Find out with the first report from 'The Diet Skeptic'. 0:16:25 Why the RCVS must prevent vets from prescribing homeopathy Homeopathic care for animals? The case against homeopathy has never been clearer, with every well-controlled study showing these remedies are no more effective than a placebo. This is to be expected, as homeopathic treatments contain no active substances at all. - Danny Chambers http://tinyurl.com/gq2lxrb 0:30:26 Brew Ha Ha: Science in less time than it takes to order a coffee https://www.australiascience.tv/tags/brew-ha-ha With Casey Harrigan Helium gas has finite uses as it escapes into the atmosphere. Helium has uses beyond party balloons - it's important for science, medicine and technology. Uses include MRI machines, deep sea exploration, Large Hadron Collider and rockets! Global supplies of helium was predicted to run out within 20 years until recently when a helium gas field in Tanzania was discovered. This will give us an extra 7 years of world helium supplies.

Guest // Mandy LeeHost // Beth LambertWant to feel inspired? Listen in as Beth Lambert interviews Mandy Lee, nutritional therapist, author, blogger, natural health enthusiast, mother/foster-mother to seven children and owner of one of the biggest and most generous hearts.More than 250,000 children in the U.S. enter the foster care system every year, and millions of children across the world are in need of a home. What few people realize is that the vast majority of these children are sick. Very, very sick. Mandy Lee and her family have made it their life’s work to help support and recover the health of foster children through nutrition and clean, holistic living.According to Mandy, “Almost every child we bring into our home has an illness: cancer, eczema, allergies, gum disease (at 18 months old!) and more. It is appalling now that 1 in 2 children have a chronic illness. We see it!” Some of the children that have come to live with Mandy and her family have demonstrated the following symptoms: Severe behavioral issues, drug toxicity, widespread allergies to foods, severe tooth and gum decay, physical injuries, ADD/ADHD, growth delays, missing reproductive organs (affecting hormone regulation) and many other chronic symptoms. But Mandy has made it her mission to fight this epidemic of chronic illness, with love, and one child at a time.Mandy says “Many times I have wondered if all these sick children we foster is a coincidence or if this is just the population of children today… and I wonder if these foster children are more sick than the children that belong to a loving family. Based on our short experience of the last 5 years, 100% of foster children are sick!”Tune in to find out how Mandy has helped so many vulnerable children reclaim their health and vitality.“Our joy and hope is to love children, orphans, and families and teach how easy it is to transition your health” — Mandy Lee www.fosteringnutrition.comMandy Lee is a Nutritional Therapist who hopes to inspire better health for you and your family. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science, and advanced studies from California Polytechnic State University, Mandy began to see a decline in children’s health. Her first son and first foster-to-adopt son presented with chronic illnesses. As a result, Mandy began to further investigate diets and became educated as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Nutritional Response Tester. After recovering the health of her child, Mandy began to foster/adopt other children and experienced first hand many of the “new childhood epidemics”: Autistic expression, cancer, eczema, severe tooth/gum decay and more. The recovery and learnings were so profound, that Mandy started a philanthropic business, “Fostering Nutrition” so she could help more children and teach other parents simple ways to keep their children healthy. Mandy intends to encourage a new generation of parents to reclaim health for their children. It’s all about empowerment! She continues to teach that everyone deserves to BE HEALTHY and BELONG!
When Mandy Lee, moved from New York City to Beijing in 2010, she experienced "soul-crushing" depression. Finding solace in warm spices and sticky sauces, Lee found she was able to focus and cope with difficulties in her kitchen. In 2019 Lee, 39, released her new cookbook entitled The Art Of Escapism Cooking, which is filled with humor, photography and elaborate flavors. She says it was a culture and political climate vastly different than her own that sparked her increased love for cooking. Mandy Lee's cookbook The Art of Escapism Cooking is available nationwide.
