The TikTok Salmon Bowl Can’t Save Us

Emily Mariko’s salmon rice bowl video has taken TikTok by storm,
with fans praising its deliciousness and even claiming that her
video helped heal their relationship with food. On this episode of
ICYMI, Rachelle and Madison figure out where this story fits into
the diet culture conversation and explain how the reaction to
Mariko’s dish is about much more than just the ingredients she’s
using. Of course, they weren’t about to talk about a viral recipe
without trying it, so the hosts took to the kitchen to find out
whether it really lives up to the hype. Podcast production by
Daniel Schroeder and Derek John. Support ICYMI and listen to the
