As reader Annie McPhee points out, the appalling article on the "Being Girl" website (that's not even grammatical, folks!) conflating the war on terror and emotional eating has, thank the Goddess, been removed.
It's a start. But this site still has plenty of egregious content up, including this, this, and this.
Come on, people! You can't write a piece bemoaning the pressure on girls to be thin and wind it up with these words of non-wisdom:
There's no need to eliminate any food you enjoy from your diet. Just learn to make trade offs and balance unhealthy foods with healthy ones. And keep on the move. The safest and most appropriate obesity prevention strategy is to get rid of those "automobile feet" and exercise.
This site can't decide what its prime directive is. Oh, wait, yes it can: to sell "feminine hygiene" products.
All this cognitive dissonance is giving me the urge to go eat some unhealthy foods. Pie, anyone?
