you find it humorous when someone dies of cancer? It's pretty funny when an American soldier dies
in Iraq. Isn't it?
The nasty comments above resemble the same sick thinking that produced the new FX show
'Starved.' This show has taken a serious illness and turned it into a "shamefully funny comedy", to
say it in their own words. It is a complete mockery of eating disorders and their victims. At the very
least, the series is unrealistic, inaccurate, and obnoxious. There is nothing humorous about
starvation, purging, binging, or compulsive exercising. Eating Disorders are real and they can cause
serious complications, including death. Do you think that anyone wants to starve? Do you think
that anyone wants to spend hours over a toilet or digging food out of a trash can? No. Not even the
people who claim to love their eating disorders. These victims are trapped in their habits, not
because of vanity, but because for some unknown reason, they are unable to love themselves.
Many eating disorder cases are linked to mental, physical, or sexual abuse. Millions of people in our
very own country are suffering from eating disorders. Many of them will suffer from cardiac arrest,
osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney failure, tooth decay, and countless other difficulties. Many of them
will die. Please, reach out and help these victims. Don't let 'Starved' continue to laugh in their faces.
