Overview

In SkinnyTok, Vera Knowles delivers a compelling investigation into how TikTok-a platform used by millions of young people-has become a powerful amplifier of toxic diet culture. The book examines the complex relationship between body image, social media algorithms, and adolescent vulnerability. Through a mix of social psychology, digital media critique, and cultural analysis, Knowles explores how idealized bodies and ""quick-fix"" diets spread across feeds, affecting mental health and self-worth. Each chapter tackles a unique aspect of the issue: the lure of perfection, the illusion of health, the dangers of echo chambers, the rise of eating disorders, and the urgent need for digital responsibility and systemic change. SkinnyTok not only reveals the hidden costs of online diet trends but also offers empowering tools for media literacy, self-acceptance, and collective advocacy.
