Need to Be Thin Grips the Nation
Though dispelling myths may not be a miracle cure for disordered eating, writer Penny Casto hopes that it will, at the very least, cause women to stop and think.
"Myth: It is healthier to be thin. While obesity presents its own set of health consequences, an extreme eating behavior toward the other end of the continuum can result in physical complications due to malnutrition and starvation. Reality: People with anorexia are up to 10 times more likely to die as a result of their illness."Another common myth is that thin people are more attractive. But this myth is being put to rest as women in the entertainment industry continue to come forward and share their struggles with eating disorders. Source: News & Record - Greensboro, NC
