A deep dive into #SkinnyTok

If your feeds are anything like ours, you’ve probably also noticed more #skinnytok and #diettok content recently. This week we unpack both, what’s so problematic about this type of content, and some red flags you can be wary of when you’re scrolling.

Then we take a look at two content creators and the highly problematic content they publish.
