Eating Disorders
(And Insensitive Reviewers)
TO: lolitalark@yahoo.com
Whomever wrote the reviews on this page
has a very serious problem. The review on Wasted is so misguided and judgmental that I wonder if the reviewer even bothered to read the book, or just skimmed it. Clearly they also have no understanding in the area of psychology in general or eating disorders specifically.
The comments on the philosophy of the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hahn were also ridiculous, and apparently come from a person with no knowledge of Eastern religion or philosophy.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but when you are giving a review of Non-Fiction works, it helps to be educated. Whomever wrote those reviews did nothing but discredit themselves, and I found it repulsive.
An honest review is a good thing, but just acting like an ignorant jerk is not so good. I just happened upon the ralphmag website, and I hope I never stumble across it again.
