A member asked:

What is more healthy: fat eating healthy food or skinny eating junk food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

STRANGE QUESTION: There are other possibilities. How about fat eating less and skinny eating well? If self control and self image are problems, consider a therapist. If this is the top of the iceberg in a problem filled life, consider a therapist and get help in taking control and sorting them out.
