Anorexia, thoughts on this issue?

That is one scary commercial, she's not even that fat.

I don't understand how people could do that to themselves.

But I guess people can be crazy enough to do anything... given the right circumstances.

Its sad that this happens.

she would easily fit in the recommended BMI range

Yeah I know.

This is one of the many examples of how the media and various other forms of brainwashing and peer pressure prevalent in today's society can harm many lives.

I have come to see that this very issue occurs a lot seemingly for lots of women to varying degrees, like when a woman a work would say that she is fat and needs to eat less when she looks perfectly fine.

This kind of thing disgusts me to a degree, especially when so much food in the world is wasted and so many is starving. To think that some would starve themselves is just horrible.

If only everybody could see that beauty comes in many forms, then this would be a better world.

Anorexia - A disorder that the world could help fight against, but would rather ignore.

I wouldn't necessarily go to such an extreme to say that the issue is being ignored, because stuff is being done about it.

But a lot more could be done.

The root of this type of issue goes deep in society, there is no easy fix.

All I can say is that people should be watching those around them and be catching and dealing with it early, not ignore it.

People normally resort to crazy stuff like this because of how they are raised and treated.

Excellent commercial. I think everybody has a part of themselves that they would like to change. I know I'm not fat but I think I am a little bit budgy, but I'm not going to go to extremes to make myself skinny.

Some people don't know the difference between being round and being healthy. You can be naturally curvy and be healthy. Being super skinny does not make you healthy.
