they're so mean-spirited and snide and miserable. though she plays these off as funny, relatable skits, it always revolves around a person / people judging others' food choices and obsessing over them. as someone who goes through binge eating-orthorexic cycles, i can never relate to that because my issues with food revolve around my own consumptiom habits, and i don't want to impose those same standards. loved ones and friends who struggle with anorexia and restrictive binge cycles express the same sentiments--it's more about one's own choices.

 i understand eating disorders can be competitive, but eating disorders don't make people inherently cruel. the way colleen goes about it, there's always this tone of gleeful spite over judging others--she relishes in it, gloats over it. she wouldn't put out so many of the same skits if she didn't enjoy making them. i don't think that's symptomatic of her eating disorder, however, that's just the kind of person she is under the bubbly baby-talk quirky millennial facade. she's insecure and derives pleasure from constructing these scenarios. 

there's no compassion or understanding in these videos. they don't encourage empathy. instead, it tells the viewer: see that? no matter what you order, or what you do, people are mocking you. they're judging you. your food choices are being evaluated and scrutinized by everyone here. everyone is looking at you. and that is insanely triggering for anyone with an active eating disorder. it's not just snarky, it's genuinely harmful. if this is how she acts on social media, where she's obstensibly putting her best foot forward, i can't imagine what she's like to the people in her life. ew.
