meat cures anarexia?

[Guest guest]

you can take issue with it all you want, but I must question where

you are getting your info from? Most of what I said is not something

you would hear about on the news. I only know of one news story in

which a vegetarian girl told them about how she was force fed meat.

Alicia silverstone also briefly mentioned her experiences in these

clinics on that carson daily show. Everything else I have heard

either from people who have been in these clinics or accounts from

people who have been on these clinics on the some of the so-

called " pro-anarexia " pages. Now, I'm sure that the clinics would

love to say that you can't trust anything that they say, because the

patients are mentally ill and would say anything to avoid getting

treatment, etc. but this claim seems illogical to me. These websites

were created by people with eating disorders to meet other people who

have been through the same thing... They don't intend for people w/o

eating disorders to visit their site. Of course, some of us are

interrested, so we check it out anyway.

 

I have learned about the symptoms and etiology of eating disorders in

abnormal psych class and your description of these is accurate. But

what I have claimed about some clinics force feeding people meat

appears to be true. and that sort of treatment is not going give them

a healthy body image. What they consider healthy for a recovering

anarexic is not what is considered healthy for a normal person.

Perhaps my use of the word " obese " was drastic, but overweight would

be accurate.
