According to social psychology research, our dietary choices are not merely personal but are deeply influenced by social context and norms. If you've ever wondered, "Why do people judge me for eating healthy?", the answer often lies less in your actions and more in the complex emotional and social dynamics of those around you.

According to the World Health Organization, 37 million children under five were overweight or obese in 2022, while many more experience malnutrition. A major factor influencing childhood eating habits, often overlooked, is the language parents use around food. Labeling foods as 'good' or 'bad' can inadvertently lead to a negative relationship with eating and increase the risk of disordered habits later in life.
