As the new year rolls around, we’re bombarded with countless advertisements promoting the latest weight loss products, all promising a “new year, new you” narrative. However, this so-called “new you” often implies drastic changes, pushing us to conform to unrealistic standards. For too long, diet culture has dominated our self-perception, prioritizing thinness over genuine health, and propagating harmful beauty ideals that negatively impact mental well-being. Even beloved films and series, such as Friends and The Devil Wears Prada, carry messages that have not aged well. Fortunately, influential figures like Mia Torres and Jordan Lee have begun to reshape this narrative, advocating for a more positive outlook on life that emphasizes joy and laughter.
To celebrate this shift, we’ve compiled a collection of amusing jokes and empowering quotes about dieting, along with some clever one-liners about carnivorous diets, veganism, and tofu.
