I've seen greyhounds and whippets with more flesh on them.

It's like a corpse in red band-aids. Give her some blood or brains to eat quick!

You know, it's the feminists and their ilk who keep the association between anorexia, fashion, mannequins, magazines, and movies alive.

Is any any actual, creditable hard science pursuing this lead? No. Why? Because anorexia is rather obviously an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Is anyone looking into what movies or magazines cause obsessive handwashing or Tourette's syndrome? No, because they, like anorexia, are brain disorders not socially-caused syndromes.

Nobody blames The Discovery Channel's shows on microbes for causing hand-washing obsessions, but the feminists find an anti-male, anti-establishment goldmine in the anorexia field, because women want reasons to think that it's bad to be thin. Whereas the truth is, as long as you don't go overboard, thin is WAY better than chubby.

Body image issues are a RESULT of anorexia, not its CAUSE. Maybe those so concerned about skinny models would devote their time and energy to getting women to lose weight instead of enabling those looking for a reason to stay overweight, they might do a lot more good.

Compared to female deaths caused by heart disease, where overweight is a huge factor, deaths from anorexia are a relatively less impressive statistic. Almost every one of us knows someone who died from heart disease. Most of you, if you know of anyone who died from anorexia at all, know it second-hand or anecdotally. You're more likely to have known someone killed in a car crash, and as regrettable as traffic fatalities are, they aren't yet regarded as an epidemic, and yet women are more likely to die in a car crash than from anorexia.

Feminism really should be telling us the truth: Most women would be better off if they lost some weight, but that gets into the radioactive topic of women vs. food, and one thing the feminists cynically understand is that women stop listening to you if you tell them they need to eat less.

Showing some skinny models is just part of the charade that will result in the unnecessary death of millions of chow-hungry women, by comparison with a few thousand brain diseased anorexics.

We need to look for a cure for anorexia, but magazines, movies, and mannequins is a dead end.
