Your Yucky Body: Disgusting Diet Trends


Your Yucky Body: Disgusting Diet Trends
Originally uploaded by M1khaela.

Partly inspired by the disgusting facts about the weirdly popular diet drug Alli, but partly by a personal experience. A few years ago I had a horrible case of pneumonia that left me bed-ridden and barely able to breathe for three miserable weeks. When I returned to the world of the living, sickly and weak, I got all these compliments for losing weight (“you look so HEALTHY!” "what diet are you on?") when I had never been MORE unhealthy in my life. Skinny does NOT equal healthy.

  1. this one's good. There's a lot of material there. You could have almost turned this into a series with each one getting a whole cartoon.

  2. Wait a sec. Pooping one's pants is now NOT desirable? Goddam but it's hard keeping up with the changing whims of fashion. Guess it's back to bulimia then....

  3. This is so wonderfully clever. I just discovered your cartoons, and I love them. I'd love to see more along this vein.
