The Globalization of Eating Disorders

The Globalization of Eating Disorders
I have assumed that eating disorders have gone into the globle scale for a while now, but i did not know that it is this bad. The point the author makes about the spread of eating disorders threw race and culture is shocking. People hating themselves for being different is appalling to me. Especialy when Susan talks about the change of beauty in africa from healthy voluptious women to skinny just because the magazenes and tv shows say it is.
Not one person on this earth looks like the models that are put on magazines. Every image you see is photo shopped and edited to look perfect. People end up wanting to be something that is not possible for anyone to be.
