So I haven't written due to work, I'm currently their slave for 9.10 an hour, which isn't bad considering the usual slave work is 7.15 an hour. 

Today I'd like to discuss the 'anorexic twins' which is a big hit on the insider.  I just feel terribly bad for the twins, Clare and Rachel, who's weight has been plastered all over the internet so it shall remain nameless here.  Says Dr. Ira Sacker, who flew to Australia to aid the twins and is an American eating-disorder specialist: "We're learning that there is a genetic predisposition, but obviously the environment, the culture, is also a major factor.  We're really only beginning to understand the deeper causes of anorexia."

Some of you may say 'well it's their fault' or 'they chose this way of life', but who in the world wakes up saying 'I'd like to be anorexic and be near death'.  Who the hell would say that!  Just the opposite would be the whole 'obesity scare'.  Well 'your choose to be fat, so get up off your ass and do something'.  Don't you think we do that?  Every day we go to work, we eat when we're allowed by our jobs and societal life (which isn't often), and suddenly we look down to see we're 285 lbs, yes that's what I weigh.  This is more than probably most 'thin' people do, but, just as there is a predisposition to be anorexic so there is one to be 'fat'. 

Nobody wakes up one day and says 'I want to be fat', 'I want to be an alchoholic', 'I want to be a drug addict', or even 'I want to be clinging to my life while I never eat anything'.  Get over yourselves, people.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, BUT the anorexic twins are a major base of sorrow for me.  Their being exposed and becoming propaganda for the world to see.  It's really sad to me, because I've been in that situation--not eating, wanting to be the 'ideal' female.  And those shirts saying 'I beat anorexia' on fat people is absolutely and insanely insensitive, which I used to think was funny is now not a source for a joke.  I think America needs to pull together and get it's shit together instead of looking at people like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears as 'role models'.
