shit let's be healthy

my favorite thing about articles about binge eating on popular websites and magazines and stuff is how the pictures are always just a whole bunch of super delicious looking junk food

like wow that is a great idea

i see no way this could possibly turn out to be a bad idea and i’m certain it isn’t at all triggering for people who are reading the article who actually suffer from a compulsive eating problem
