Eating disorders affect many people, female and male, some starve themselves, others eat themselves into oblivion, nevertheless, it is a disorder, and a very unhealthy one at that, definately not to be encouraged. Now maybe society and it's whims is to blame, maybe it is something else, but I see this apparent need for women to be of an ideal thinness to be some of the blame. These stick thin models that others have already said suffer problems due to their diet, like why does it seem society demands this, I don't, and I know no other that likes it, so where is the demand coming from ? Could it be if one is as society calls it fat, then the ideal is thin, as a complete black and white opposite, where does the healthy normal physique come in to play, or is it what someone is, is defined by what is seen in magazines ? I do not even pretend to understand anorexia, all I can say, is stick thin is not my interest, the curves of a woman, the natural being is of my interest, women who live as the rest of us do, and accept their perfection as in the eye of the beholder, that is good enough.
