Repeat after me: THE MEDIA DOES NOT CAUSE EATING DISORDERS!
Phew ok that feels better, honestly it is so frustrating to see what is essentially proving to be a Neurobiologically based illness being associated with nothing more than a media influenced strive for thinness. Anorexia Nervosa was first officially identified in 1689 by Richard Morton, and there are unofficial case histories of the illness dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times, so tell me where was the media back then? Anorexia Nervosa has existed throughout history regardless of the existence of mass media and irrespective of body cultures of the time. So how is it that the media of today is suddenly to blame? Quite simply it isn't!
