Missing An Opportunity

I’ve been amazed at some of the reaction to one of the Olsen twins getting treated for an eating disorder. As a professional in communications, if you are serious about bringing information to, and making positive changes in, the lives of young women you could not ask for anything better. These young ladies carry a lot of clout in the age groups most affected, and in the age groups where the most positive change can be made. To castigate her for getting treatment and not trying to hide it is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen in some time.

Then again, that supposes that the people want change. Some people revel in victimhood and in the creation of new victims. The larger the problem, the more money and power they get. Hmmmmm. I wonder if that could be the case here.

I would also be very remiss if I did not point out this post from someone who knows the problem well, and the price that can be paid. Go check it out. I also hope that you see both Olsen twins joining the fray in a positive way. They have a chance to make a real and significant difference in the lives of their fans, and I hope they take it.
