answer:I honestly don’t think so, W. Only because of my experience with many forms of mental illness. As far as being too thin or too fat, I do think it would help those people if our social norms were exposed as ignorant which to me they are. A lady who died from anorexia may not have been anorexic if it wasn’t for the ‘social norms’...whether she was teased or it was in her head only, who knows. Society could definately be more tolerant. I don’t know how many times I’ve been around the mentally ill where my mom works and volunteers and people don’t understand why they are ratty looking or poor, or homeless. People ridicule what they can’t understand, imo out of fear of the unknown. Just another example of people’s ignorance about mental illness. sad
