    Re: “The Art of Dining
    Your characterization of Nikki McCrea as "supposedly anorexic" and lacking "an obvious eating disorder" is insulting on so many levels and not just to her. It perpetuates a dangerous stereotype and as the father of 3 girls, I find it deeply offensive. It's one thing to critique her performance, but to critique her body, is out of line. I know Nikki and she is by no means overweight. She may not look anorexic in the traditional sense but I know plenty of women who've had eating disorders and you'd NEVER know it by looking at them. Furthermore, if you didn't like the casting choice, take it up with the director. I believe you owe Nikki an apology and an immediate retraction.
