I was at my friend’s house, she was baking a vegan coconut cake and we got onto the topic of health. She asked me if I had ever watched any of the episodes from the show Supersize vs. Superskinny. I had no idea what that was, so we found them on youtube. It’s…really weird. They have one incredibly obese person and one anorexic person swap diets for a week in an attempt to have them realize the problems with their diets. I personally don’t see how this could be beneficial. There are so many psychological and emotional issues with eating disorders, from overeating to under-eating, I think just having two people suffering from eating disorders swap diets doesn’t help them learn how to be healthy or help them cope with their disorder. If anything, wouldn’t this worsen it?

Have any of you seen this show? Thoughts??
