I saw the title of the thread and said ut oh! I decided not to touch it but I thought I would show you the pole it would've required.
Hey... isn't the author doing a little 'channeling' here? Whoa... this hack should hold out for more money. Ain't often you get a psychic-reporter on the staff!
I guess Anorexia, obesity in childhood killed Terri... at least, that's what they're telling themselves now.
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
A little exercise in re-writing history here? They say the "victors" get to write the history. But is this a truthful account?
I don't believe that anyone has ever produced one shread of evidence that Terri Schiavo had an eating disorder. Interesting how the pro-death people are allowed to fabricate un-proven theories out of thin air, aided by smoke, mirrors and the willing assistance of a like minded MSM.
Even if the Lady's condition was in fact caused by an eating disorder, it didn't kill her-she was killed by a Court ordered diet that consisted of what ever amount of air she could suck into her tortured lungs and whatever nurishment she could derive from her own saliva that she swallowed- yes swallowed!
Strange how she was able to swallow her spit,even while those who wanted her dead, argued that she could only ingest food through a feeding tube. This exposes the sinister motive behind the order that she recieve no food or water orally, issued by the same b*st*rds who ordered the removal of the feeding tube.
Teri was murdered-not with the blessings of the Judiciary, but by the Judicary. Those who cannot comprehend this fact, are more brain dead than the courts would have us believe Teri was. Which of you will be next??????????
urban legend alert - Goebbels Award.
So some have said. Others have said other things.
All the blame placing in the world isn't going to cover for what Michael Shaivo and his cohorts did to Terri.
I have three daughters. They all have lost some wieght recently and are all around 110. They look great. Do you think I should call an ambulance?
Perhaps it depends on height, but ten years ago I was 5'3" and 110 pounds. This was after the birth of my first baby. I like food too much to have an eating disorder.
Okay...I am truly going to blow a gasket if I read one more blurb about Michael's diligence and the reponsibility he felt toward his wife.
REAL MEN - do not give up after one year and go on to another girlfriend - whom they also attempt to batter. It is clear this author has not done one ounce of homework - or she would have read the affadavit by Cindy Schook (? - cannot remember correct spelling) - and she would have realized that the Bulemia - if it is true as doctors who first examined her after the collapse has claimed - was a symptom of a much bigger problem. It always is - and she would KNOW this if she remembered Psych 101 from college.
Things are not always as black and white as they appear - and this is yet another attempt to sway the American public - both through her naivete' and her loyalty to the MSM.
Two things we must be committed to breaking through our writings, postings and rallies.
To reduce Terri to an 'eating disorder' is coming to be another miscarriage of justice, that we as FReepers, cannot allow. I suggest for every article we find like this one - we bombard them with the FACTS - found at Terri's Fight.org, and other sources from which we have posted. At least then - they will be choosing their information with equal knowledge - and then God will reign over their conscience - NOT OURS. JK
She's subhuman (a vegetable). It's her own fault (eating disorder). These statements are designed to make it easier to kill her. It worked on about 9% of the people. That's scary.
***Un-PC question alert***
Why are so many of the people who condone Terri's murder women??
What idiotic contention. Her "loving" husband, according to friends, threatened to leave her if she gained weight. If she even had bulimia, he is the one the put the pressure on her to look a certain way.
Tell the Media to report the REAL Schiavo polls!

Here's a test. Which of these show up in Terri's medical history.
Direct Adverse Effects of Bulimic Behavior on the Body
The following are medical problems directly associated with bulimic behavior, including self-induced vomiting and laxative abuse:
***Teeth erosion, cavities, and gum problems. (Of course this is also caused by husbands who are mean /s)
Water retention, swelling, and abdominal bloating.
***Occasionally, fluid loss with low potassium levels. This occurs from excessive vomiting or laxative use. In severe cases it can cause extreme weakness, near paralysis, or ***lethal heart rhythms.
Acute stomach distress.
***Problems in swallowing. This is an area of possible concern because of repetitive assaults on the esophagus (the food pipe) from forced vomiting. It is not clear, however, if this problem is common.
Rupture of the esophagus, or food pipe. (Cases have been reported with forced vomiting but are not common.)
Weakened rectal walls. In rare cases, walls may weaken to the extent that they protrude through the anus. This is a serious condition that requires surgery.
***Irregular periods.
(It should be noted that menstrual irregularities in patients with bulimia do not have the serious effects, particularly bone loss, as they do in patients with anorexia.)

I'm not gonna sift through all the posts to see if someone's brought this up, but people with eating disorders tend to indulge them in secret.
That and Man's desire for the perfect woman.
Didn't her loving parents worry when they saw their daughter shrink to 110 pounds?
I read somewhere that Terri was 5'4" tall. That's a healthy weight for that height.
This is not the fault of people around Terri. There is only so much one can do. I have had family members who had bulimia and only person who made them stop was themselves. I also know a girl from my high school (I am friends with her doctor brother) who dies because of an eating disorder because her heart gave out.
The Sun-Times is just a horrendous paper. Pure tabloid. Take Eric Zorn, mix in some Jennifer Hunter and top off with Richard Roeper. Left-leaning morons...all of them
