So I was in the nurses office at my college wait for my friend and i noticed that there were pamphlets on the wall. One was called Eating disorders and had a picture of FORKS AND KNIVES!! There also was one on Bulimia and it had A SCALE ON THE FRONT! I was infuriated. I just feel like the designers of those "informational" pamphlets dont have a clue about what they are actually "informing" us about. If they knew anything about this kinds stuff they wouldnt be posting cutlery or a fucking scale on the COVER of them.It just shows how ignorant this world really is. Want to be informed.... look it UP!
1) It's good that they are at least putting together a pamphlet on EDs in the counselling office for those girls/guys who still may be in denial about having disordered eating.
2) What else would they have put the cover? Did you let the counselling department know that their choice of "design" offended you? Maybe you should talk to them about it... It can't hurt!
3) A main symptom of all eating disorders is, well, difficulties with eating properly. Of course, there is SO much more, but they are called "eating disorders" for a reason, ya know?
Definitely NOT saying that your feelings aren't valid, though!!!
