As long as society equates “thin” with sexy, successful and that the “thin” are the only ones worthy of life, then the number of eating disorders with continue to grow at an alarming rate. We live in a society that if one does not fit into the glamorous fantasy world of Hollywood they are shunned. It is as if they had a hump on their back and lived in a bell tower or should be burned at the stake. More and more people are being treated terribly because they don’t look a certain way. Women are bombarded daily with images and content on how they are “suppose” to look. It seems that every time a woman picks up a “Glam” magazine her self worth drops 50 points or more. She is reminded by a shallow society that because she doesn’t look like a “star” or what society deems as beautiful she should hide herself away or need not live.

 

Quote- “Americans have been snatching food from the mouths of starving Third World children for generations.” I have had the misfortune to have been in third world countries where there was mass starvation.  I was sent there to protect the food from the warlords or governments of these countries who would have hoarded it all for themselves or sold it to the highest bidder. Here in the U.S. there are thousands of children that face hunger each day. Maybe the UN needs to get involved with that ‘cause it sure doesn’t look like our own politicians give a shit.
