Oh, man! Completely forgot about posting on this forum after our break from the short stories and books a couple weeks ago. Just wanted to quickly comment on "Food for Our Souls" in Body Outlaws from last week. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was to read a story talking about how much a woman loves to eat and not about how much a woman loves herself more after throwing it up. I also enjoyed her light-heartedness when speaking of her size; she made up for her short five-foot stature by filling out in other directions.
       I also cannot partially convey how much I learned about the female body whether I had to cringe my face while doing it, or not. What I have taken from this course is a respect and an appreciation for women. Like I said in class, four years at an all male high school/ "fraternity" did not do me much justice by attending a liberal, co-ed university. But after completing this course I have been put totally in check. I'm sure you will all receive "thank you" notes from my mom.
