Does it matter? Both are incredibly self destructive. Either way you leave a really disgusting corpse. One is just easier on the pall bearers.

Perhaps... but obesity isn't just being a bit overweight... obesity is a bmi of 30-39.9 which is quite a bit overweight. That means around 25-30% body fat, which is a lot. Its not hard to lose weight or cut out a meal a day if you are in that weight range, and is probably something people should do if they are in that range.
Another stupid post.
Losing serious amounts of weight takes more than offering up the suggestion of skipping a meal once in a while. :roll:
I've battled being overweight and beat it but I will never look down on a person that wants to lose weight. It's harder than most thin people can imagine.
And for anyone who wants to lose weight, the key is a lifestyle change that includes regular exercise and eating in a more "normal way". It's not rocket science but it does take a slight amount of discipline.

yup. agreed (except for calling his post a stupid post... it wasn't stupid). for most obese people, cutting out a meal or two is a healthy lifestyle change.
for some, losing weight is pretty easy. for others, it's hard as hell.
dude... anorexia is fscked up but really you can just check yourself in somewhere get some IV minerals or whatever, learn how to eat and be normal again.... morbid obesity is kinda harder... you can't just loose all that weight like that... plus you become socially reprimanded kinda and have trouble moving around and such... 
Brazil model who battled anorexia dies
A 21-year-old anorexic model who weighed only 88 pounds has died of generalized infection, a hospital said. Ana Carolina Reston, who had worked in China, Turkey, Mexico and Japan for several modeling agencies, died Tuesday, according to Sao Paulo's Servidor Publico Hospital.
The hospital said the infection that killed the 5-foot-8-inch model was caused by anorexia nervosa, a disorder characterized by an abnormal fear of becoming obese, an aversion to food and severe weight loss.
"Take care for your children because their loss is irreparable," Reston's mother, Miriam, told the O Globo newspaper. "Nothing can make the pain go away. No money in the world is worth the life of your child."
Reston began her modeling career at the age of 13 after winning a local beauty contest in her hometown of Jundiai, on the outskirts of Sao Paulo.
"I noticed something was wrong when she returned from Japan," Miriam told the Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper. "She was too thin when she returned and when I told her to eat something, she would say: 'Mom please don't fight with me; there is nothing wrong with me, I'm fine.'"
The model's cousin, Dani Grimaldi, told the Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper that Reston also battled bulimia, an eating disorder marked by binge eating that is followed by vomiting or the use of laxatives.
The world of high fashion and modeling has long been targeted by critics who say it encourages women and girls to emulate rail-thin models.
In September, a Spanish fashion show responded to such criticism by banning models with a body mass index of less than 18. Body mass index is a calculation doctors normally apply to study obesity, and anyone with an index below 18.5 is considered underweight.
Reston would have had a body mass index of 13.4 at the time of her death, according to a calculator on the Web site of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Come on, this is easy... we're on AnandTech!
Most people here would sleep with either woman, just because it's their only chance to get laid
IMHO, between the two, obesity is definitely worse...

Anorexia is worse from the aspect that it is a *true* mental disorder that is self inflicted by societal pressure and portrayed images of beauty. And because it typically affects otherwise healthy teens and adults.
Not to say that the morbidly obese aren't suffering from depression, which many are. That's more of a chicken vs. the egg theory and is largely circular in logic.
I just think that anorexia is worse because it's not as preventable. You don't wake up overnight morbidly obese.
