Real News

I wanted to watch the news the other day so I turned on CNN to find a "top news story" about Jessica Simpson's weight gain...okay...so I changed the channel to another news station and it's the same story!

Our country is involved in a war in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is a crisis involving Israel and Gaza, our economy is about to crash, our environment is becoming destroyed...but no, let's not talk about those issues...let's have an entire half hour of news dominated by a woman not being a size 2 anymore.

We're always wondering why young girls have eating disorders...this is why. Jessica Simpson is not even close to being fat or overweight- she is still probably below the average size. Claiming that she's fat is ridiculous and is why so many girls starve themselves.

How about we find something meaningful to put on the news for once and stop contributing to the existence of eating disorders?
