Eating is Now a Spectators Sport: How do you Play? (by Charlotte)

A waitress friend of mine recently snapped a pic of an overweight patron’s meal. Why? So she could text it to several of her friends. Sure her customer’s meal was appalling – One of every appetizer?

Maybe she should watch that show to gain a different perspective on overweight people and realize it's usually not about the food and there is much involved when it comes to any eating problem (whether it be overeating or bulima/anorexia).
