No, feedism is not an eating disorder.
An eating disorder will have you counting the calories in a cough drop or a piece of gum.
An eating disorder will have you convincing yourself that a green tea will counteract the negative impact of slowing your metabolism.
An eating disorder will have you proud of the fact that you're cold in a warm room.
An eating disorder will have you avoiding going out with your friends just because you know they're going to eat.
An eating disorder will leave you too tired to stand or walk too long.
An eating disorder will have you preparing a lie to answer someone if they ask what you ate today.
An eating disorder will have you doing ridiculous forms of body checking and measuring your waist.
An eating disorder destroys your relationship with your body, your mind, and others.
Feedism will give you something to look forward to in each day.
Feedism will have you saving new recipes to try by yourself or with others, just because they look so good.
Feedism will have you making friends with those in your community over shared wavelengths.
Feedism will have you excited to hit new milestones; fitting into new clothes, or outgrowing old ones, or seeing a new measurement.
Feedism will be tangible evidence of your love between you and your partner.
Feedism will have you loving the way you look in pictures- how happy you look, not ashamed of the space you take up.
Feedism will give you a different perspective on beauty, and who profits from conventional beauty standards.
Some individuals may take feedism too far as much as anything can be taken too far. People can take exercise to unhealthy extremes, but we don't see people discouraging working out. Because of how fatness is viewed as unhealthy, feedism is disproportionately discouraged and stigmatized. (And even feedists who go to extremes deserve respect and support from those within and outside of the community)
