Announcing the Eating Disorder Hall of Sadness

Tuesday April 29, 2008
A recent ad campaign was so adept at including items that are likely to trigger disordered eating that I decided to open the Eating Disorder Hall of Sadness, a record of media influences and other unhelpful events that tend to promote eating disorders. Not just anything will be allowed into the Hall, of course. Entries will have to be genuinely saddening to make the cut.

just left a new message on Special K’s message board for members on the “challenge” with a link to your article - the “moderators” must approve first before publishing - I wonder if it will even get posted. Thanks for sharing.
