Take a Stand Against the K & E Diet!
We applaud CNN for their appropriate segment (see link below) on the Nasogastric Tubes this afternoon, so let's thank them for shining light on the dangers of this terrible practice which their Medical Ethicist calls, “stupid”. Let's thank CNN and ask The Today Show to follow suit!

Here's what you can do:
- Contact CNN and THANK THEM for responsibly addressing this issue: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/
- Contact The Today Show and ask that Kathie Lee apologize on-air for calling the dangerous diet trend "genius" (at 5:19 in video -below)
- Contact The Today Show ask them to bring on eating disorder experts to address the dangers of this quick-fix rapid-weight loss diet
- Share with them your personal opinion on why you feel making light of feeding tubes does a serious disservice to those suffering the deadliest of all mental health illnesses, eating disorders and ask MSNBC & The Today Show to feature a segment like CNN -responsibly addressing the dangers of this fad diet.

Thank you, Eating Disorders Coalition! For taking swift action, for giving us all concrete actions to take ourselves!
Thank you SO much for providing concrete ways we can express how dangerous this new fad is. ~Lori
The link to the Kathie Lee/Hoda clip shows todays clip not from the 17th.
The Drs interviewed on the Today show stated that they thought is was dangerous and not to be done.
Here's a link to the video i watched, not the one you posted...

I did not hear her call the diet "genius" at any point?
Stop the madness. Have you NO CLUE what you are doing? If not, i will fill you in.
You are promoting Eating Disorders.
You are promoting self-abuse for the sake of thinness.
Shame on you.
Shame on you!
Have you no idea what you are promoting?
Eating Disordered thinking.
Thinness at the cost of health and rational thinking.
Stop the madness!
It would be nice if we stopped trying to force our opinions on other people. Let businesses and people have their own opinions on things and spend all of your time telling future generations that opinions are just that - opinions and not fact. We as a society need to stop blaming others for our issues and demanding businesses to change how they are run.
Thank you for the varied opinions and comments, everyone.
