Eating disorders
According to the medical dictionary, eating disorders are a group
of behaviors often fueled by unresolved emotional conflicts
symptomized by altered food consumption. The most common types of
eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Why
do some people start with such harmful nutritional habits?
Firstly, one reason for this could be media. Advertisers heavily
market weight-reduction programs and present anorexic young models
as the paradigm of sexual desirability. Also, clothes are designed and
displayed for thin bodies in spite of the fact that few women could
wear them successfully.
