For @guardian, @ColumbiaJournMA alum @ffoxpack (MA Arts and Culture '19) writes about an eating disorder that focuses on food purity. theguardian.com/global/2025/…
In MAHA America, "eating clean" isn’t just wellness, it’s ideology. My latest for The Guardian looks at food purity culture, orthorexia, and what happens when personal responsibility replaces public health. theguardian.com/global/2025/…
