Body Peace Corps

We believe that weight and size are social justice issues and we pursue body activism to change the culture at the University of Michigan and beyond!

A14 EDs impact people of every age, race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, SES, ability status, & religion #UMichChat

[Body Peace Corps @bodypeacecorps]

A14: EDs occur in people of ALL body types AND social identities. #UMichChat

[Body Peace Corps @bodypeacecorps]

A13: Glorification of certain body types–whether in person, on social media (think about who is "goals 😍"), or traditional media. #UMichChat

[Body Peace Corps @bodypeacecorps]

A12: Although there might be biological predispositions, ED onset is a biopsychosocial interaction and prevention is possible. #UMichChat
