sometimes things need to be said out loud. these two women are not ok. they are visibly not ok. nobody whose ribcage is visibleis doing great. they're in the public eye and kids look up to them whether you like it or not. they have disordered eating. my opinion. you don't have to agree

I hope all you nzers know that my mum was instrumental in food labelling changes in the 80s. me and my sister were allergic to dairy - the rule then was that if it was under 5% you didn't have to put it on the ingredients list. after 2 anaphylactic shocks and a bunch of phone calls shit got changed
