Default Re: "For Fear Of . . . "

Well, much as I dislike excessive tinkering with the natural way of things, this is one case in which I'm glad to see it happening and in such a positive way.

Anyone who has ever lost a loved one or friend to anorexia or bulimia, will undoubtedly cheer this forward-thinking move. It is primarily the fashion mavens and media that have created the crisis in the first place with their super thin, unnatural bodies as the 'model of perfection'.

Now if we could get the media to follow suit and start showing people as they really are, or at least healthy instead of wasted....we just might have a start on creating a happier, healthier world mentally and physically.

Mental disorders don't all start in the brain of the sufferer...sometimes the roots are in society itself and the way it projects and distorts things. It's a great start and I congratulate them on their forward thinking and concern.
