Anorexia and obesity are both eating disorders but it’s only okay to call one of these a disease in the mainstream today.

Imagine how many obese people, women specifically, that this hurts.

It follows from this that the accommodating credo, “There is nothing you can do about obesity” is also wrong — a reflection of what the food companies et al. want you to believe. (Yes, I know what the studies say. I think they are flawed in crucial ways.)

Perhaps there is nothing to be done, and we can just adopt the centrist-like “fuck it, everything is impossible” approach. But you know, I’d really prefer not to give up and declare that being unable to walk 100 feet is just fine. Seems like a real failure of imagination and initiative to me.
