The Body in a Changing World: What’s Appetite got to do with It?
October 4 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am PDT
Appetite has gone haywire. In the past two years with the rise in use of semaglutide injections originally created for diabetes and now used for weight loss, the landscape of bodies and one’s relationship to food has been turned topsy turvy. While heralded as a game changer, GLP-1 medications have their pros and cons, both of which need to be carefully considered. For some, this can be a tool in working with the despair and intransigence in treating obesity, yet it’s so controversial because of the way it works; by triggering a chemical repugnance to food and appetite itself. Is it a clockwork orange for junk food, an eating disorder in an injection? It remains the case that the challenge of learning to live from one’s body–rather than managing one’s body–and the ongoing need to accept health at various sizes is still of crucial importance. The future of the body landscape is daunting, and many challenges remain.
