Memes are, by definition, culturally transmitted, not biological, but they can take root and shape organic traits too (such as lactose tolerance). An ED is like an insidious little software program that invades our hardware (the brain). If your hardware was "wired" in a specific way, it's easier for the ED meme to get in and take over. Biology meets culture, bang.<BR/>Sorry about your computer, but I'm glad you got it taken care of! There is a TERRIBLE virus going around my campus and I've been super-paranoid about it, glad to hear you got yours fixed so quickly.Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-91060945335902974342009-03-17T10:12:00.000-04:002009-03-17T10:12:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-17491248712681948762009-03-17T05:16:00.000-04:002009-03-17T05:16:00.000-04:00I really like this analogy.

It does feel like an invasion sometimes - when you have a hundred and one reasons to recover, and you genuinely want it, but there are still all these ridiculous irrational thoughts buzzing around your head and giving you hell. I am a science-minded person too, and my ability to hold several mutually exclusive beliefs in relation to food, weight and recovery at the same time frustrates me no end! I love your blog, it's so interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
