need your help: eating disorders & vegetarianism
i’m working on a 3-piece feature on eating disorders and vegetarianism. vegetarians – don’t worry! i’m not knocking vegetarianism, but sharing my experiences and talking about some of the correlations that i’ve found with both myself and many others i’ve known.
