Gressier, Catie.

Illness, identity, and taboo among Australian paleo dieters[electronic resource] /by Catie Gressier. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - ix, 136 p. :ill., digital ;22 cm.

1. Identity and Taboo among Paleo Dieters -- 2. Beleaguered Bodies: Illness and Obesity in Neoliberal Australia -- 3. Narratives of Paleo Redemption: Agency, Resistance and the Rise of Populism in Health -- 4. The Promise and Pitfalls of Paleo.

This book explores the cultural and economic conditions fuelling the popularity of the polarizing Paleo diet in Australia. Based on ethnographic research in Melbourne and Sydney, Catie Gressier recounts the compelling narratives of individuals struggling with illness and weight issues. She argues that 'going Paleo' provides a sense of agency and means of resistance to the neoliberal policies and practices underpinning the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases. From its nostalgic constructions of the past, to the rise of anti-elite sentiments inherent in new forms of health populism, Gressier provides a nuanced understanding of the Paleo diet's contemporary appeal.
