High protein ice cream sandwichā¦I am in take my money
I like this kind of stuff, so I read the book the author of the article wrote.
Her whole thing is that eating disorders arenāt an individual problem, but rather the result of social forces and evil industries making money off them, so itās no suprise she thinks this way about gym culture.
Edit - by āreadā I mean found a pdf online and skimmed until I got bored.

@Brant_Drake Thanks for finding the source of this article. I hereby publish the introducation to the article written by the series editor.
It is without a doubt the biggest crock I have ever read. It reads like a satire/parody (whatever) of the absolute morons populating academia.
ENJOY
The Politics of Mental Health and Illness conceptualises the western mental
health system as a social, economic, political, and cultural project which
cannot be adequately theorised without considering wider societal and
structural issues such as professional power, labelling and deviance, ideo-
logical and social control, consumption, capital, and self-governance.
Engaging with both social theory and empirical evidence, and situated at
the intersections of critical psychiatry, sociology, anthropology, social
psychology, social work, history, media studies, and the health and educa-
tion sciences, the series offers academics, researchers, postgraduate stu-
dents, and practitioners new and innovative monographs and edited
collections with which to contest and challenge the taken-for-granted
understandings of psychiatry and the mental health system currently pro-
gressed in western society. Research topics for the collection may include:
aspects of the medicalisation and/or pharmaceuticalisation of everyday
life; psy-professional power and knowledge production; psychopolitics
and the expansion of talk therapies; the biomedical model and the future
of psychiatric nosology; the marketisation of mental health discourse;
social media and self-diagnosing behaviour; capitalism and psychiatric
violence; and specific analyses of psy-professionals and their practices
from a variety of locations (including prisons, workplaces, addiction clin-
ics, the military, schools, the home, and general hospitals). As the first
book series to explicitly encourage critical contributions in the area of
mental health and illness, we welcome scholarship from a wide range of
different theoretical and empirical perspectives.

Nothing damages the eyes more than reading academic writings. Itās like they donāt want people to read their work.
Part of this is because theyāre writing this wordy dribble to impress their wordy-dribble-loving peers, not to provide actual info to the lowly plebes who donāt live on university campuses and have fewer than three advanced degrees.
Also, I bet sheās insufferable in person.

To get published, you either have to have written some substance or have created something so long/ boring nobody will read far enough to realize there is no substance. As do all organisms, academics tend to find the most efficient path.

Are you implying that indviduals with advance degrees are narcissistic? Can have massive egos and look down on you. Especially if by chance you dare to challenge their view point?
If thats the case ā¦ i agree. Since im living that shit now.
