I would like more collective training/TA about weight neutral language, weight bias, etc. as we work through this question. I feel like creating specific definitions of "healthy" (i.e. grams of fat, sodium, sugar, etc.) goes against some of the support for moving to a weight neutral approach. Also, it feels uncomfortable to define healthy for a large population. At the same time, we know that only having access to high sodium, high sugar, high saturated fat foods can lead to chronic disease regardless of a person's weight. How do we live in both places?
