FLOTUS On TBL?
You may have heard that Michelle Obama is scheduled to appear (again) on an episode of NBC’s The Biggest Loser.
This time, the eating disorder community won’t go down without a fight.
The last couple of weeks have witnessed a social media* blitz to encourage our first lady to reconsider her appearance. The folks over at Binge Behavior started a change.org petition encouraging Mrs. Obama to cancel on TBL. The petition already has 3,500 signatures, including mine!
Binge Behavior, together with the Binge Eating Disorder Association, the Academy of Eating Disorders and some other key e.d. players, also sent a letter to Mrs. Obama explaining why we are challenging her appearance on the show.
What do you think?
*Speaking of social media, a couple of months ago, I signed on as one of the official Tweeters for the Academy of Eating Disorders. For great content on eating disorders, check out their Twitter feed: @aedweb (and mine, too: @drstaceyla)!
