It is divided into 5 parts: eating, sleep and rest, exercise, schedule and herbs, meds etc.  Each has a cartoon drawing, half with people who are doing things in a way that is portrayed as unhelpful, the other half with people who are doing things in a way that is portrayed as helpful.]<\/p>\n<p>I wish I was disappointed; I wish I expected more of so-called radical organizations.  But no, when trying to illustrate unhelpful eating patterns for depression they show a fat person eating a burger and fries, and they contrast this with thin people eating a home cooked meal served by a woman (the headline is my alternative title for the Eating Well illustration).<\/p>\n<p>The illustration is not radical.  Fat-hatred is not radical.  Food-hatred is not radical.  People can pretend that their disgust at a burger and fries* comes from their dislike of multi-national corporations.  But their disgust at a fat body is in plain view.<\/p>\n<p>* Which as far as meals when you&#8217;re depressed go seems pretty good to me.  It has protein, carbohydrates and fat.  It will fuel your body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an image from the Icarus Project, a radical mental health support network.
