I had Good Morning America tuned in Monday morning while I was getting ready for work. Some lady was promoting her book on body image. Part of the segment included an interview with a Mrs. Silver and her daughter.
Mrs. Silver admitted to her lifelong obsession with dieting. She raised her daughter in this environment. At one point she related that she was with her daughter in public one day when they spotted a large woman with, presumably, a large daughter. Mrs. Silver commented to her own daughter that, well, it's no wonder why the daughter is big.
Mrs. Silver's daughter grew up anorexic.
Someone please tell me why this is OK? How can people hear stories like this and think, well, that's OK, at least your daughter didn't grow up to be fat--she may have needed treatment for her eating disorder, something that was your fault, something that could have killed her, something that will scar her for life, but--at least she's not fat.
It's really hard to live in a world riddled with this type of insanity.
