it boggles my mind that anybody could be so blind and/or daft as to not recognize obesity as an eating disorder.

but, when you live in a society where 60-70% are overweight, and those numbers are increasing, maybe it's at least easy to understand how people can't see their own disorders when they look in the mirror, and mistake themselves for being healthy when they're not. after all, they're the same size as everybody else around them, right?

of course obesity is an eating disorder. and, it dwarfs anorexia in terms of the number of people affected as well as the costs to society.

so, i'm not at all interested in hearing people argue that we can't address a problem that affects 70% of the public because doing so might upset 1% of it. that's just irrational.
