August, 2002
The ad was printed in US Weekly Issue 391 (August 12, 2002) page 77. I sent it
to the US Weekly e mail address:
To Whom It May Concern:
I came across this advertisement in Issue 39 for the week of August 12, 2002
onİpage 77. I was shocked to find that such a product exists, and am writing to
request that you please stop printing it, and in turn stop supporting
Klein-Becker USA. Anorex is obviously an abbreviation for Anorexia, a serious
and fatal illness affecting 7 million women and 1 million men according to the
National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. I understand
that US magazine is making a profit off of weight loss ads and celebrity
gossip,İand in turn making a profit off of the people who read it. ( I am notİa
subscriber.) Therefore I do not expect much in the way of reform (this
wouldİinclude getting rid of the magazine altogether). However,as someoneİwho
works with women in recovery from eating disorders I could not ignore this. I
ask you to think of anyone you know who is battling an eating disorder (there is
most likely one) and remove this ad from your magazine. I would appreciate a
response from you in regards to this issue.
Thank you for your time,
Amy Rogerino
