This entire article about food is just indictive of the stupid obsession that women today are suppose to believe in. I am a 45 year old woman who believes that the idea of anorexia is a modern day idea of rebellion. Most anorexics come from good families, they are by and large well off, these girls are indulged and babyed throughout their whole lives. You look throughout history, there was no anorexia, hell people just wanted to survive. My mother grew up during World War II in Germany, even today she does not throw away any food period, because there were times when she had nothing to eat. The whole idea of someone starving themself on purpose is just ridiculous. She taught her two daughters to eat when they were hungry. Self hatred is just stupid. My whole family is not overweight, nor do we obsess about what we eat, because we do everything in moderation. I think it would be great if a columinist actually wrote the truth, and stop enabling these entitled people. Sincerely, Stephanie Richmond
