FINALLY someone recognizes what’s going on!

as i was checking my email about a minute ago, i saw on the news feed an article by Huffington Post discussing the undercover world of “thinspiration” blogging. as you may or may not have read my “About My Blog” section, but this is exactly what I’m talking about.

of course, posting this entry on tumblr, i feel like i may be preaching to the choir. so instead of blatantly chastising, i’d like to offer a fuller opinion

i’ve seen many inspirational blogs on tumblr - many promoting weight loss with the hopes of becoming “thin” - thus “thinspiration.” some do promote healthy weight loss, gettting fit, and a clean diet, with the goal of HEALTH. and honestly, i don’t find anything wrong with wanting to lose weight. What i take issue with, is the teenagers out there who think it’s ok to starve or even have the GOAL of being anorexic. eating disorders are serious matters - i really pray that NO ONE wishes that upon his or herself.

to be clear, i think it’s incredibly dangerous to have such an influential social media site [tumblr] being a platform for these ideas to spread that it’s okay to eat 500 calories a day, or want nothing more in life than to be rail thin 

to reiterate the main reason i continue to blog healthy food for my friends, family, and followers is to promote HEALTHY LIVING - healthy food, exercise, moderation, and enjoying time with the people around you (preferably in the kitchen)

so there’s my 2 cents. (more like 64 or something) and i hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday (almost friday!!)

Stay Hungry,

Rebecca
