[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who suffered from a serious eating disorder for more than 15 years, I would be LIVID if someone made a similar comment to my child. Telling a child they are going to turn into a fatty if they use whipped cream does not come from a place of caring. It is not sound diet or health advice. That comment was loaded with guilt, shame and fear and it is unacceptable to foist that on a young girl. [/quote] I totally agree. Sorry you had to go through an eating disorder.[/quote] Right, people don't realize the effects comments such as these can have. Sometimes older people who make these comments have disordered thoughts about eating themselves but don't realize it. Good for you for for overcoming your eating disorder and speaking up to help others! [/quote]
