I work at a smoothie shop. While I was on a break, I observed a skinny man who works at a neighborhood chain restaurant order a smoothie with a "fat buster" diet pill.
I stared in shock for a few minutes, then also thought of Katherine McPhee's "admission" that she was suffering from Bulimia, and wondered what the hell is wrong with people? Even worse, I keep wondering why people think consuming a diet pill or whey protein will magically help them?
Or do you just think it's wildly hilarious and get a kick out of seeing these crazy people do this when they obviously could use more weight?

The first thing that usually goes thru my head is "Somebody needs a shrink!"

I used to work third shift and there's alot of people that take those diet pills to stay awake. Alot of them take some white powder too, but I guess the pills are legal. I tried one of those slim fast shakes one time (a chocolate one) and I thought it was pretty good, so I don't know, maybe some skinny people like the taste. As far as the diet drink goes I think that's kinda funny too. Unless they are diabetic or something, I don't know what they're doing. I know it isn't for the taste. That stuff's nasty.

Some people use things like that for energy. Some order diet items because they may be diabetic and don't need the sugar. Don't always assume the worst. Do you have something against thin people?

they do not see themselves as thin but,there image in the mirror is often of a person who is obese,its strange but this is just one aspect of having an eating disorder.

I agree with your 3rd paragraph.
Some skinny/bony people think they are fat. Can you believe that !

Maybe it was a nutritional supliment that he puts in different packaging to humor people like you?

I think that people have become so image conscience that they are willing to destroy themselves to be this image of perfection that they can never achieve.
