Gambling on Life
The Hollywood Gossip is a celebrity site that devotes an entire category of posts to eating-disorder gossip. On the site, recently, I found this poll:

"eating-disorder gossip"
I'm really struggling with the fact that our culture is obsessed with this as it simultaneously -- and drastically -- trivializes it.
Seriously, a new societal low.
It's disturbing on a lot of levels.
Seriously, what have we become. As a society I mean.
Next there will be a poll asking which overweight celebrity will explode first.
:(
I'm going to pretend they mean "disappear from public consciousness as emaciated starlet because she will attain a healthy weight and start working in an office and be happy" for the sake of my peace of mind.
stacy--it is difficult to see those shots.
lm--interesting paradox. . .
jen--you mean, they haven't had that one already? ; )
blubbah--thanks for the healthy re-frame. : )
This is so sad. I'm old enough to remember Karen Carpenter dying from anorexia. Do these young women realize what they are endangering their lives? Its so sad.
I love your blog, so glad I found it!
