Pop culture is blamed for making people obese and for making people anorexic. Shouldn't it all balance out in the end?

Don't go to the photo gallery. You'll be sick. It's like a train wreck, it's awful, but I can't stop watching:disgust:
Awful...I went out with a normal-sized girl a few years ago. She seemed to get sick frequently, almost always after we ate somewhere. Finally figured out what was happening. She used it for weight control..sad. In every other aspect you'd never know she had a problem. I bought her an exercise bike, but she still got sick after eating. Addictions are hard to break.

ya...pretty much. She wasn't a full-time bulimic, she only did it in spurts, but when she did it, it lasted maybe a month or so.

I struggled with eating disorders for many years. When I was extremely thin I thought I was still huge. It was especially bad for me because I have something called body dysmorphic disorder... I've relapsed once or twice in the past 3 or 4 years, but overall I feel like I've beaten it.
Anyway, it was a true epiphany for me to realize that the truest beauty is born of emotional and physical health... and that the impossible standard of beauty so many women try to live up to has absolutely nothing to do with what true beauty is and means. Taking good care of yourself... eating right, exercising, sleeping well, taking time to rest and be at peace... all those things create beauty on the inside AND on the outside. Torturing yourself to be thin just makes you sick.
I do feel that society DOES have a lot to do with this problem. A documented study showed that women in Tahiti or Fiji, who NEVER had eating disorders before, started devolping them after television was introduced to their society.
The trick is in teaching our children that what the media uses to sell products is not reality, and that a healthy reality is actually much more beautiful and wonderful than a celluloid fascimile.
