I know that part of eating disorders gets neglected sometimes. Still, anyone who is struggling matters, right?
Even more so are government-sponsored public service announcements telling everyone to lose weight, obesity kills, etc.
Fewer people die of obesity-related diseases like diabetes than die of anorexia. By a factor of 5. Five times as many people die from anorexia.
But where does the federal government spend money? On telling everyone to eat less. And who actually hears that message? The anorexics. We're the ones who internalize th message and resolve to eat less. We're the ones dying from not eating already. We don't need these signs on top of everything else.
And I also really resent the fact that MY tax money is paying for these signs that endanger me.
(thanks for letting me rant)
they were too triggering for me
