Jesus Christ, dear Susie Orbach, isn't that a bit over the top?
Fat has come to stand for need, greed, indulgence, wantonness, unruliness, a loss of control, an unstoppability. Fatness represents folds and folds of uncontrollable needs and the guilt associated with the satisfaction of such needs. Fat represents the exposure of need. The ability to make herself smaller and smaller ist the direct expression of the anorectic's success in controlling such needs and neediness.
Susie Orbach, Hunger strike; starving amidst plenty.
