Is it ever right to tell someone he or she is too skinny?
Ok, the men reading this have just said, "Wha'?" and switched to Mariano Rivera's blog. But the women will continue to read.
I'm not talking about the jealousy thing. As in "you're so skinny," meaning, "I wish I looked like that." I'm talking about when you don't even wish you looked like that. Not, can still button the jeans she embroidered with butterflies skinny, ribs sticking out skinny. Unhealthy skinny.
That we live in a weight-obsessed world is obvious, but we also live in a pc-obsessed world.
It seems to me when someone is damaging their health, something should be said. But how? Especially, how when pc rules.
Do you say, "didn't I see you in a POW photo?" Do you say "is there a food shortage on your side of the Delaware?"
Or do you leave health magazines lying around? Clip articles about the dangers of anorexia and stick them on the fridge? Rent one of those movies about famous anorexics? I don't have an answer. Maybe show them this blog?
