OMG, I can't believe this!?

I'm amazed how many people out there have absolutely no idea about how their bodies work, it seems like every day there's a new person asking, "if I just starve myself for like ever, how much weight will I loose?" I'm exaggerating, of course, but come on, it doesn't take a genius to know that's not healthy. I really believe there should be a mandatory class in like 7th or 8th grade teaching people about nutrition and digestion. I know bio sort of does it, but that obviously isn't helping. Don't you think?
PS - I know it's not really a question, I just needed to vent a little.

Oh wow, I see that i'm not the only one that gets frustrated with the ignorance and unawarness. I mean I'm a nutrition major so I understand that an average person doesn't have as much knowledge about it as I do (also because I love it, it's my passion) , but I feel like everybody should know the basics about their digestion and absorption and how it affects their lives.
PS- to that weirdo by the name ohno... Dude, I'm a guy, and I sure as hell aint' starving myself!

I agree with you. I am 13 and going to 8th grade where your required to take a one semester health class to learn about those types of things. I not surrounded by people who want to lose weight but I do have some friends who want to lose weight and have done some rash things. They might come to school and not eat anything telling me they need to lose weight and end up getting sick and then realize thats not the right way to go about losing weight. I think if someone is well informed about how there body works then they can avoid many complicated problems and they will at least know what options there are to losing weight besides throwing up or not eating. Uhh yea, I ranted but I feel strongly about this topic. =]
