Cult of wellness | Heroin chic is back

and I feel relieved? (TW: disordered eating)

If your algorithms are anything like mine, you’ve probably seen some discourse about this gross article. Everyone from Jameela Jamil to the New York Times has had an opinion about it, and it’s safe to say we’re all pissed off.

I’ve avoided mentioning this article thus far because I needed a little break from all the diet culture talk. As someone who spent many a middle school evening re-blogging pics of Kate Moss emblazoned with “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”, internalizing diet tips from Blair in the Gossip Girl books, and being told to “hide my dinner” in my ballet classes, I do actually need a moment to vent.

My first reaction to this article was “No! I’m not going back!!” and then I realized we never actually left.
