Default Society and eating

Ok I think this is where I should post this. Well I was wondering lately what you guys though about societyy and eating. By that I mean how do you think you are treated and how is society helping and not helping us. There are a lot of things happening out there but we cannot run away from society

Well society in general likes to judge those who are weird. Let's take our case. According to society we are a disease. Why? Because we are fat and we do not look like most people in society who are skinny. Society judges people more than the cause of the problem

Hmm society is a beast that's what I think. Society is dictating the way we have to do things. I mean what is the point of many of the rules in society like when you get in an elevator you have to face the door if not people will think that you are weird?

Well, its WE who form part of the society. But let me tell you something, i have been through so mant bad experiences that i have stopped bothering about the society. As i always say, to hell with the society!!! The society is always there to gossip, to comment and to judge but never to give you a helping hand during the rainy days. Society loves slim, successful people! :(

You can't ignore society forever or society will catch up to you and put you in a tight corner without an escape route.. You say that we are part of society so we are responsible for what happens around us. You have to make a difference for society to accept you.

Yeah Josh is right society is undeniable unless you are going to coil in a corner. You have to go with it. Man cannot live with society. They are pointing to us as being the reason for obeisity but I hope that one day they will realize that the real cause is not the person but the institution

If you look at those top models you would think that you should all look like them. Society has accepted them as being the ideal form of women or men but did you know that those women Binge or are anorexics? That they are so skinny that they need treatment?

Oh are you saying the truth Kyli? I was wondering why they looked so skinny but I never imagined that they had an eating disorder. This is very sad. Well that will teach them to mess with other people and to show the wrong women figure: That is skinny that they are almost like a skeleton

Wel you guys have solid points here. I think that when those fast food came out everybody saw it as being a blessing. It took quite a while for people to realize that eating too much junk food makes them obese. Now that society knows that they blame the individual and not the institution

I agree for the most part of what is being said here. Let me come back to the fashion models for a second. Their job requires that they be slim. Did you know that they wear sizes that are inexistant in shops? I don't knwo the size number exactly but I read it in the newspaper lately
