There is an epidemic in North America today that is being grossly overlooked. The main health concern in this day and age is obesity. I tend to worry about those on the other end of the spectrum.
Walking down the street, I will pass billboard of supperskinny models, and store windows sheltering pretty outfits that will only ever look good on the mannequin. Right after I pass a row of these stores, I pass a fucking weight watchers. Tonight, millions of parents, docters, teachers, and counsellors will sit at home and wonder, "why won't my daugher/student/patient eat?" We can build atom bombs and invent a vaccine to prevent polio but we can't get girls to eat. We are a stupid society.
What brought me to this rant is a blog stating minimum mentrual weight as 113lbs. I have never been 113lbs. A recent study has proven being moderately over your recommended weight IS NOT unhealthy. So fuck the Jenny Craigs and the weight watchers and go eat a goddamn cheeseburger. Your self worth is not determined by your weight.
