About Virginia Sole-Smith

Virginia Sole-Smith has spent a decade writing about how women think and feel about their bodies and how these sentiments are passed down to their children through food.

Family Dinner Routine

Sole-Smith, a resident of Cold Spring, N.Y., serves dinner to her daughters, Violet (10) and Beatrix (6), without being a short-order cook. She encourages her children to respect the effort put into meal preparation and offers alternative snack options if they don’t enjoy the main meal.

Philosophy on Food and Eating

In a rejection of traditional diet culture, Sole-Smith’s household avoids labeling foods as “good” or “bad” and allows her children to eat without restrictions on portion sizes. Desserts and snacks are served alongside main meals, promoting a healthy relationship with food.

As a prominent fat activist, Sole-Smith challenges biases and discrimination faced by individuals in larger bodies, particularly in healthcare settings. She advocates for self-acceptance and body positivity, striving to raise children who are confident in their bodies and enjoy food without guilt.
