Outrage About Anorexia Comments

Kate's comments about Anorexia didn't go over that well

"Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale has been branded "irresponsible" by parents of anorexic sufferers, after she claimed the eating disorder was the result of an unhealthy home life.

The Underworld star - a former anorexic herself - sparked controversy on the 24th when she likened sufferers of "anorexia, alcoholism and drug abuse in teens" to "crack whores". And while Beckinsale, who was brought up by her mother following the death of her father when she was five, was partly referring to her own childhood experiences, the 33-year-old's comments have enraged relatives of anorexia sufferers. Ros Ponomarenko-Jones, whose 19-year-old daughter Sophie died last year (06) from the condition, says, "(Beckinsale) has been totally flippant and does not really know what she is talking about. She is not giving anorexia the status it deserves as a mental illness.

"I think she needs to go to an eating disorder unit and speak to some of the girls there, where she would find out it is not always about what is happening in the home. "They look up to celebrities and if they are thin, the girls take that on board and think if they look skinnier, they will have friends and live better lives. She has been completely irresponsible."

I don't want to even touch on the subject, because I definitely do not have personal experience with any of this, so it might be trite to comment on it.

Err..ok. I don't see anything wrong with what Kate has said. After all, I think she's right regarding an "unhealthy home life". There's more than one way to look at it, but I believe that it's parents' job to make sure things like this don't happen (anorexia)

I realize that's open to debate, but my father (who raised me by himself, for most part anyways) always sheltered me away from things like that. Not anorexia of course, but things such as disruptive behaviour, smoking or general drug use. But most importantly, he wasn't over-protecting when he did so. He let me figure things out along the way and I believe that I'm a better person because of it. Now I'm not saying anorexia and a like are always the direct result of bad parenting, but I do think it can have a huge influence.

Now of course, that could imply Kate's mother was a bad parent. Is that true? There's obviously no way I can answer that. The only thing I can say is we know Kate lost her father when she was very young and I believe that probably attributed to her anorexia. So then, while I do agree with a good deal of what she has said, perhaps she shouldn't have spoken so soon (too many circumstances)

No pun intended towards the parents the article mentions, or any parents with a similar story.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I started take up real income.
It gets down to select a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
