By: The National Eating Disorders Association After being e-mailed harshly worded criticism from a viewer for being perceived as overweight, which he cited as a poor example for the community’s youth, Livingston – the mother of three – seized the opportunity to address the attack publicly on-air, pointing out that October is Anti-Bullying Month and urged viewers to teach their own children tolerance towards one another. Her appeal hit a chord. A YouTube clip of the segment has surpassed 7 million views and has garnered a national outpouring of support (even Ellen Degeneres tweeted a shout out).
