Queering Nutrition and Dietetics

Abstract

This review examines Phillip Joy and Megan Aston’s Queering Nutrition and Dietetics: LGBTQ+ Reflections on Food Through Art. Through intimate and critical reflexivity, the featured authors and artists offer readers a unique interpretation of nutrition and dietetics as a field that begs revitalization. By delving into the lives of queer individuals and their relationship with food, Joy and Aston address the prevalent marginalization that exists within nutritional healthcare. Queering Nutrition and Dietetics challenges conventional norms and opens new avenues of understanding through creative exploration and community building. This review explores the book's mission to create a more diverse and inclusive future, compelling readers and practitioners to take part in dismantling the barriers within nutritional healthcare and dietetics.
