A few interesting bits and pieces.
- A powerful message about eating disorders (YouTube - from Sweden)
- Kate Winslet takes it to Grazia Magazine
Kate Winslet gets a payout from Grazia. The magazine claimed she had been visiting a "diet doctor". Winslet claimed it was untrue and took it to the High Court. Winslet: "I feel very strongly that 'curves' are natural, womanly and real.'' - Kids Medicines contain a cocktail of additives (UK)
Dyes, preservatives, sweeteners, and benzoates - many of which are banned in foods and drinks - can be found in abundance in medicines. However - you don't normally chug down a whole bottle at a time. - The world keeps getting fatter
Experts predict that the majority of Britons will be obese in 25 years. Other parts of Europe aren't faring so well either -- over the previous 25 years obesity has doubled in Sweden. - Women "adopt" an animal as a reminder of their weight loss.
These UK women have adopted a pygmy hippo! - Trans-fat debate hits a snag
Many animal products (dairy and meat) contain small amounts of naturally-occurring trans fats. Due to labeling requirements and "trans fat hysteria" some manufacturers are turning away from using butter and replacing it with trans-fat free margarines. What a confusing mess!

That Swedish video made me cry. Because the whole time I was thinking "That girl isn't even very big!" and then seeing the reality of it...yeah. That's how I feel a lot of the time. Even though I am a healthy weight.:(
Replywow... the youtube video is amazing! SO true
ReplyI just saw the video yesterday and I was really touched, as a young girl I struggled with anorexia while I was dancing ballet and I´m glad to have come out of it healthy. I´m glad to see that celebrities are helping in this matter.
ReplyOk, by "That girl isn't very big" I meant the first girl we see in the mirror. Just to clear that up. It kinda came out wrong.
ReplySimple fix for the trans fat issues:
1. Stop referring to trans and hydrogenated fats as if they were synonymous.
2. Ban "hydrogenated fats" instead! In fact, ban the laboratory process of hydrogenated fats in any case. (And while you're at it, ban the laboratory creation of any chemicals not already found in nature - completely.)
