Eating disorders and how they are encouraged by society.

There is something wrong with the attitude of society on weight and food.

1. When skinny or slim people brag about how many hamburgers they can eat, people call them fun and careless
2. People look down on overweight people because they supposedly can’t keep their eating impulse under control.
3. However when skinny or slim people brag about eating healthy, they will be called control freaks. 
4. When overweight people start eating healthier, people usually respond very positive. The problem is that some will also respond positive, if someone overweight (nearly) stops eating, and they will keep on responding positive until (s)he has reached the point where (s)he is underweight. And than it already is too late.

So it doesn’t bother if you live healthy or not, it bothers if you look ‘healthy’ or not.


The right attitude is to always eat healthy, not because you need to ‘look healthy’, but because it just is better for you and your body.
