Pinterest –
On behalf of the over 10 million people who suffer from
eating disorders in the United States, thank you for taking a stand against
hurtful and detrimental, pro-anorexia or bulimia content on your website.
As non-profit organization, The Emily Program Foundation
works to eliminate eating disorders through advocacy and education. We believe
whole heartily that together we can make a difference in the lives of
individuals, families, and communities that are affected by this real and
life-threatening disease.
We commend you on not only removing pro-eating disorder
content from your website, but for your decision to offer a serious and
informational response to thinspiration searches on Pinterest. Offering resources
for treatment on a landing page like this may seem like an insignificant
decision, but doing so can have a huge impact in the life of someone struggling
with an eating disorder. We appreciate you for offering support in this way and
reminding your users that eating disorders really are serious illnesses that
affect real people, everyday.
Thank you for your advocacy and bravery in publicly taking a
position on this issue.
The Emily Program Foundation
