Join the Impact Center for our first iteration of our Beyond the Book series, a faculty and staff discussion group!

This month we will be discussing The Latina Anti-Diet: A Dietitian's Guide to Authentic Health that Celebrates Culture and Full-Flavor Living by Dalina Soto MA, RD, LDN. In discussions and trends on "eating healthy," culture is too often left out of the conversation. Like many movements, intuitive eating has become co-opted by a select few—placing the focus on “mainstream” food while discounting cultural cuisines. But how can we gain a healthy attitude toward food when our foods—our arroz, habichuelas, and plátanos—are left out of the conversation?

Dalina Soto is here to add them back to our plates.

As a registered dietitian, Soto understands the pros and cons of intuitive eating. As a first-generation Dominican American, she’s also seen firsthand how this movement has only catered to a certain demographic. With her easy-to-follow CHULA method, Soto gives us tools to confront diet culture and the whitewashing of food so we can go back to eating what we love while managing our health.

Please RSVP to Catherine at ctaipe@brynmawr.edu. We have a couple of copies of the book for those who are interested in reading.
