Maybe this will stop young girls (and now boys) from being bulemic and anorexic. I'm all for stopping eating disorders. Personally, they've affected my life really badly.
@Freya When I was in my twenties, I had an eating disorder. I thought the skinnier a woman was, the better, so I cut my food intake drastically and became an exercise nut. I became way too thin. My periods stopped for two years. The scary thing is, you get into a mindset that's hard to get out of. You've exercised such control over your food intake that you fear getting fat if you give up that control and start eating normally.
At a routine doctor's visit, my MD told me I was going to have to gain weight. I asked him what would happen if I didn't, and he said, "Well, down the road? Death, eventually." That scared me badly, and I started to eat.
For the first few months after I came to my senses, I had a craving for whole milk...just could not get enough of it. And I'd never been a milk drinker. I guess my body was craving the calcium.
There's no need for models to be bony. I get that they need to be thin so they can wear any designer's clothes, but when they start looking sick, it's too much. There are girls on social media who are "pro-ana"; they're anorexics who encourage and enable each other to stay underweight. They look up to models and actresses who are sick-thin.
