Singer Demi Lovato took to Twitter to protest the latest Disney flub, a "joke" about eating disorders on the show "Shake it Up."

In the show, one character says to another:"I could just eat you up... well, if I ate."

Lovato, a former star on the Disney show "Sonny With a Chance," left a tour with the Jonas Brothers in the fall of 2011 to seek treatment for an eating disorder.

Obviously, this issue hits home for Lovato. But I hope it strikes a chord with other people, too. Eating disorders affect all of us, from stars to your everyday folks. It upsets me when I hear how far people go to look thin. Somewhere, I know society is to blame.


Demi, you are beautiful. Thanks for speaking up.

  1. I just can't believe that Disney would even allow comments like that on their shows anymore. DC has really gone down in its standards. I miss the days of So Weird.
