Social media platforms are inundated with messaging surrounding food and diet, creating a constant stream of content. Users scrolling through their feeds, such as TikTok’s “for you” section, are likely to encounter videos showcasing the hashtag #whatieatinaday or personal success stories highlighting transformative diets.
Research indicates that this pervasive diet culture particularly affects body image, notably among teenage girls, potentially contributing to serious health issues such as anorexia and other eating disorders.
