Good point. I’d be interested to see them do some studies on this too.

Having been a victim of this type of teasing as a child and a teenager I went on to become an emotional eater with bouts of bulimia and anorexia in my 20’s. The eating disorder worked its way into a lot of excess weight and now Diabetes. I am working hard at breaking the cycle at this time but am not there yet.
