"Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice"... That's a very interesting -- and disturbing -- article.

However, it sounds like it would be fun to jump into a huge bowl of plushie Cheerios. :)

It may be because I've benefited from HAES but I found that article pretty slanted. [deleted 500 words of commentary] People like to talk about health when they talk about weight loss but they never seem to consider mental health. Anyway. Maybe I'll write about this article in my journal.
