31. Have you ever seen a person NOT notice a walking skeleton? - You have a good point here.  I suppose that if all you want is attention, even if it is negative, you could become a walking skeleton and everyone will stare at you.  If you want looks of repulsion, disgust, astonishment, and horror, go for it.  You'll become walking death.  A walking skeleton. 

32. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. - To be honest, I'd rather look healthy and be able to enjoy yummy foods now and then.  Eating sweets in moderation is okay.  Have you seen the food pyramid? 

33. Is food more important than happiness in life? Your appearance to others? - Let me turn this around on you.  Is your appearance to others more important than happiness in life?  Why should your appearance decide your happiness?  What if you were in an accident and your face was burnt past recognition?  What if you lost a leg?  Does that mean you can't be happy?

34. Eating is conforming. - Eating is surviving. 

35. When you start to get dizzy and weak, you're almost there. - You're almost where?  In a coffin?  You've just contradicted most of what you've said in previous numbers on this list.  You want to be a ballerina... you want to run fast... if you're dizzy and weak, you can't do any of those things!  You'll be stuck in a hospital bed with a heart monitor. 

Check back on Thursday for my final installment of 40 Reasons to Eat.

26. Starve off the parts you don't need. They're ugly and drag you down. - I don't quite understand this.  What parts don't you need?  Your muscles?  Your heart?  You know the first thing that you'll lose when you start to starve off your "parts"?  You'll lose your boobs.  And most girls want those.

27. Nothing can't be fixed with hunger and weightlessness. - Let's see.  Nothing can't be fixed, eh?  What about AIDS?  Did you know that you can't treat AIDS with ARV unless the recipient is on a healthy diet?  If they're malnourished, the treatment doesn't work.  What about world hunger where thousands of children die each day?  What about homelessness?  What about corrupt governments?  What about eating disorders?

28. Saying 'No, thanks' to food is saying 'Yes, please' to THIN! - Not necessarily.  Please refer back to number one on this long list.  Now this could work if you replaced some of the words and made it: "Saying 'No, thanks' to unhealthy, fatty, junk foods and replacing them with healthy foods and plenty of nutrients while being sure to put in an hour of exercise each day is saying 'Yes, please' to a THIN and HEALTHY body!"  I'm sure that's what you meant to say... you just didn't want a run-on sentence. :)

29. Fat people are so huge, people see through them and it's like they don't exist. - Oh no... believe me.  You can't see through a fat person.  Haven't you ever been to that party or family reunion when your extremely obese uncle or aunt or grandparent comes in and starts singing really loudly?  Believe me, it's impossible to ignore them.  But all joking aside, you shouldn't look at the outside appearance so much.  You're judging overweight people.  You can have overweight friends.  They exist just like you do.

30. The only time people notice a fat person is when they get in the way of that beautiful thin girl walking by. (I know that one sounds horrible.) (Oh well.) - I love how you finally start to feel guilty.  Finally.  After everything cruel and stereotypical you've said before in this list... you feel a little guilty at number thirty.  And then put it aside with a little, "Oh well."  I don't really want to honor this argument with much of a response because it isn't true.  I've got some friends who are bigger than others.  They're way nicer than a lot of the skinny people I know.  I don't notice my friends because of the way they look.  I notice them because of their personalities and their hearts.  When you talk (or in this case, write) in the way that you've been writing, it makes you have not-so-much of a nice heart.  Your words hurt people.  That's what makes people want to ignore you.  That's what makes people feel bad about themselves.  That's what causes low self esteem and eating disorders.
