Dear Men With Eating Disorders,

This just goes to show that men are not exempt from being made fun of
if they have are struggling with an eating disorder or weight
problem. Even though, this man is considered in the guitar world, to
be "The World's Fastest Rock Guitarist", people are still making fun
of him and make jokes like this one and others. What do you think
about this video? What are your thoughts about what should be done?
If you would like to post any comments or responses perhaps that
might help some people understand the seriousness of what jokes like
this does to a person's self esteem and can contribute to eating
disorders.

Yngwie Malmsteen has lost the weight they he had gained, no longer
smokes or drinks. As you can see in this video his is not by any
means overweight. In fact, I believe he is about 19-20 years old
when this video was originally made. Just think about his 8 year old
son who you know probably has either heard about this awful video
from his peers and/or seen it himself. That is enough to drive that
child to be very angry, depressed, and possibly of developing an
eating disorder himself.

If you have a son or husband or know someone who has a son or husband
who is struggling with either a weight problem and/or an eating
disorder perhaps you would like to post a comments or responses about
this fake video (someone took the original version and changed it to
this version). Of course, females can become famous guitarists too,
i.e., Lita Ford, Jennifer Batten. Joan Jet, etc.

Even if you yourself are struggling with a weight problem (females or
male) I encourage you to post comments and responses about this
video.
You may use EDSA or refer people to EDSA because this is your group.
Yes, I am the Founder, but this is for all of us.

All we expect at EDSA Groups at AOL and at Yahoo, and SATY & EDSA web
site is honesty, to be respectiful of others, and to take these
Groups and web site with to up most respect.

We would really like to see our members grow with the 2 ED's Groups
and web site.

I am sure that there are guitarists who are having a body image
issues, weight problems, and/or eating disorders and they have seen
this video and feel awful and disgusting.
This kind of crap doesn't help to promote the seriousness of eating
disorders nor does it help to eradicate eating disorders

Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you and I hope that you will
post comments and/or responses to this message board at YouTube after
you have watched this video titled, YouTube - Yngwie Malmsteen's
Recipe Book Promo.
