DIET, BODY IMAGE, DAN TEKANAN SOSIAL: KETERKAITAN STANDAR TUBUH DENGAN POLA MAKAN MASYARAKAT DALAM PERSPEKTIF NILAI-NILAI PANCASILA
Abstract
Ideals of body image and social pressures such as body shaming, which is amplified by social media can be linked to a person’s eating habits and psychological well-being. Previous intervention efforts have often focused solely on medical or psychological perspectives. These approaches still need to be supported by attention to sociocultural aspects, social ethics, and mutual respect within the surrounding community. Therefore, this study presents an approach that integrates the values of Pancasila specifically the second, third, and fifth principles as a moral and social foundation for addressing issues of body image and eating patterns. This study aims to analyze respondents’ views on body standards and social pressure, their relationship with eating patterns, and the application of Pancasila values in addressing these issues. The method used was quantitative descriptive analysis through an online survey of 57 respondents. The research findings show that 100% of respondents stated that there are body standards considered ideal in society, and 78.9% of respondents stated that they had once felt the urge to change their eating habits after receiving pressure or comments about their bodies. Nevertheless, the majority of respondents agreed that the values of Pancasila are relevant in creating an environment that respects physical differences without belittling others (Second Principle), maintains unity without discrimination (Third Principle), and ensures equality and the provision of nutrition education tailored to individual needs (Fifth Principle). Thus, addressing body image issues cannot be done in isolation but requires a combination of nutrition education, social media literacy, and the reinforcement of Pancasila values in daily life.
