#1 The pressure young women are under to match what their idols on Instagram are eating is really high.

I am having a hard time coming up with a total of how many things are wrong with this statement.

#2 I counted at least eight items, swkvolFF.

Of course, I quit counting after that.

#3 It would seem like a solution looking for a problem. Today, so many foods are supplemented with calcium. It's doubtful calcium deficiency is a problem unless there is some underlying pathology. I'd think calcium deficiency would show up as metabolic deficiencies, hypertension, nerve transmission problems, muscle spasms, bruising, fatigue, and heart irregularities before it showed up as calcium loss in the bones.

#5 Think of it as evolution in action.

p.s. Grom Jr. homeroom teacher, who is also their science teacher, lectures them on the benefits of vegetarianism - when she isn't talking global warming. As a result, kids have a new sport - eating meat in the classroom during lessons.

#7 Maybe they should just bring in a live goat, tear it to shreds, make a bonfire out of the chairs and desks, cook it over the bonfire (optional), and eat it right there. That would also have a side-effect of ending the global warming lectures.
