One more thing, Anti-obesity Campaign!

I have known more people that struggle with anorexia than with obesity.  I should say- I have known more people with anorexia, or a distorted body image, low self esteem and trying to be thin, having their self worth directly related to their body weight, eating unhealthy or smoking cigarettes to do so.  Do we really need a campaign saying they should not be fat?  Being overweight may stem from an eating disorder too- and all of these things stem from different things.

Why not make it an anti-eating disorder campaign?  My sarcastic side wants to ask, why not start an anti-thinness campaign?  Yes, that is offensive.  EXACTLY!  It is so obtuse to make a campaign that uses a word I have only ever heard used as an offensive term.  The "o" word.  The point being this campaign is obtuse because it is everywhere in our society that women (in particular) should be fat free size nothing, and almost every woman I have ever known struggles with not feeling good enough -I don't know a college girl who didn't have an eating disorder- this campaign has got to contribute negatively to this problem.

I am sure this campaign contributes to a negative body image -especially among women.  Thank you for having a campaign against my fat.

One more thing, being at an unhealthy weight is not from eating grain or carbohydrates!  Our country is filled with crap food, processed and full of chemicals.  That is the nature of industrial farming and large corporations that want to sell based on taste.  People will eat what is served.  I think it is that and a combination of emotional or psychological factors that contributes to any eating disorder.
