“Bulimia” and “anorexia” are hot links on this site for diets. As a recoverer from anorexia nervosa, this destroyed any positive awareness message you were trying to send and hows how little the web master must know about eating disorders.
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your comment. I do apologize for the hot links and completely agree with you. Unfortunately, I have no control over them personally, but your point is well taken.
Congratulations on your recovery and best wishes to you!
