HBD, and thanks for composing a birthday message that is refreshingly critical of the status quo, that is, our culture's thinness ideal. Brava! May many hear it, take it in, and maybe begin to question core beliefs about valuing thinness above all else.

No kid in America should not have enough food. If we want to feed kids we have to know how many kids need to be fed. Ignoring and avoiding such an important issue will only make it worse.

Spread the word and call your legislators. We can make a difference and keep kids fed.

If the annual food insecurity survey is canceled - the US has no way to monitor how often this experience is happening.

1 in 5 children in Kentucky are food insecure (do not have enough to eat). This is a 48% rise in two years.

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.

Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.

Agree! Might it be another example of overlooking/underestimating the prevalence and impact of eating disorders, perhaps because they were previously thought to affect females almost exclusively?

Putting it out into the world that I'm looking for a job in patient/clinical outcomes research for mental health (preferably in eating disorders or with kiddos). My goal has always been to get treatment to people and figure out how to make it as good as it can be for them!
