I support your stance. On both articles. Perception and reality are both problems that the world, and probably most America, needs to work on. I did, however, find a typographical error in the fifth paragraph, sixth line. It says my where it should say by. Terrible pet-peeve of mine.
I found this article via an anorexic oriented web blog who was calling for your head. As fondly as I like the creator of this web blog, she's wrong and took you out of context. In a video against you she mentioned that anorexia and obesity are completely different issues. They happen to be opposite sides of the spectrum; imagine that. So, why is she getting huffy with you when she herself just excluded her issue and passion from your own?
Fighting against obesity and anorexia are both noble fights that can, in fact, coexist peacefully.
