My wife and I were opened jawed at this. Especially the comparison photos of the young woman, Nikocado Avocado. To think that something like this has become a "sport" is beyond the imagination, but it shows the depths of where depravity will take us if we are not always vigilant. It is only by the Grace of God that we are not all comsumed by such utter foolishness.
Another sign of what happens when, refusing the fear of God (the beginning of wisdom), He gives people up to themselves. But lest we get comfortable pointing fingers at this particular depravity, we have to recognize: there but for God's grace go we all. ANYTHING can become an idol.
So-called eating disorders ultimately stem from sin. I coached a large girls' high school cross-country (running) team in an affluent liberal (largely godless) community for 8 years in hopes of ministering Christ to girls under the spell of the eating disorders I fully expected to find there. Turns out, they were more widespread and entrenched than I ever imagined, in every form, tightly interwoven with things like cutting (suicidal experimentation), transgender madness (several kids I once coached went all the way with that), drug use, shoplifting, sexual licentiousness, and outright suicide. It was heartbreaking.
And (subject for another post/comment) EDs are far more common among males than most people realize. (I was anorexic in high school as a runner, but it's rampant in sports like wrestling, football (in a different way), cycling, ice-skating, and gymnastics.
“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,” is a command none of us would even begin to obey unless the Lord put that desire into us. Left to ourselves, our first love is for all the “THEN these things will be added,” stuff.
Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your heart in the way. Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat, for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags.
The devil has all of us on his list. We either have the protection of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit which happens at the moment of salvation or we don't. Either way we all need to remain vigilant. He still "prowls around like lion looking for someone to devour". (1 Peter 5:8-9)
Nikocado Avocado is the male in the picture, not the female
Duly noted and typo corrected. Thanks.
I wish this lady would go to get some help for herself
Wow! I have not heard of this … so very sad all around.

This is actually a thing? We are absolutely in the last days of this world.
Yes, it is a thing... unbelievable!

It is so sad that people spend so much time and energy on temporal things and little to none on the relationship with their creator...

Please give a guy a warning before you put pictures like that in front of them while they are eating breakfast… I almost choked on my biscuit.
Whoa!
This is about the saddest thing I have seen...heard...or read about. These people need prayer.
Thank you for sharing and educating us.
Yes, pray for them...
I was not even aware of this! The world has truly gone insane!
Indeed it has...
Gluttony is one of the 7 Catholic sins. I guess this sinful generation has to max out all sins.
That sounds about right!
Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your heart in the way. Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat, for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags.
(Pro 23:19-21)
Wow! Just wow. Eating disorders are one thing, but overeating on purpose is something else entirely.
Well said!
If one does not want God, the devil has you on his list of steal, kill, and destroy.

Amen!
Well said Jackie!
Very true...
Great work exposing the derangement of society.
There is so much it's hard to keep up!
It's as if they have such low self esteem that they don't value human life.
Good point!
