Answer:
-There are lots of real people here and not much spam.
That said, I really can't tell if you are trying to offer support to those
suffering from eating disorders or just trying to make a buck off of their
pain. I know that many anorexia sufferers will wear red bracelets in order
to identify themselves to each other and to try and build a community
together that encourages their illness.Sorry, but that's how I feel.
-She doesn't say anything about donating funds. I know for a fact that
anorexia nervosa sufferers/practioners wear red bracelets in order to
identify themselves to one another. I know this because I have been asked to
make these in the past. I refused, for whatever that's worth.
-Looking at the auctions and reading the wording carefully, it would
appear that she is supporting the DISORDERS, not the TREATMENT. There is
a huge eating-disorder culture in which the sufferers support each other
in their disorder. I am guessing that she is either a sufferer who is
deeply entrenched in this culture and is doing her part to perpetuate
the illness, or she is a vulture out to profit from other people's pain.
Either way, she is very sick.
