Kat here. I'm a twentysomething Oregonian student. I post things. There is no intended theme, except general awesomeness. Sometimes I write. Lots of times I write and make it private because I don't feel you need to be subjected to it. You're welcome!

The real problem is that we live in a neurotic, miserable society with a deeply disturbed attitude to food, nurture and consumption, a society which teaches children, and particularly girls, that their growing bodies and normal desires are unacceptable and must be starved away. If we want to help people with anorexia, we need to improve diagnosis and provide more funding for inpatient treatment. And if we want to stop our kids starving themselves, it’s not enough to deliver a few pep-talks about body image.
