No. In poor countries, it is actually sexy to be fat. It denotes better nourishment and thus better socioeconomic status. Eating disorder there basically means not having eenough to eat,period! However, with ‘westernization’, the ‘thin is beautiful’ idea is catching on everywhere.

people always desire something they don’t have. dark people desire fair complexion, fair people want dark tan. Too, a tan portrays, outdoor exposure, sports health, youth etc, that is good life, and vitality. whereas, amongst dark skin people of mostly tropiocal, poorer countries, fair skin denotes absence of sun exposure, ie.ability to stay indoor and afford servants to do the outdoor menial works. I am definitely generalizing, but that is probably how it all originated.

I am not surprised. The grass is always greener on the other side. We always consider someone different as exotic, unique, rare. I am sure blacks feel the same way too.

Dear Amanda, I don’t think people are afraid to help, I think they simply do not know how to help and are afraid of making matters worse.People are surprised and taken aback, sometimes shocked, because the self mutilators usually do an excellent job of hiding their problems. Thus, although self mutilation is very common (picking hair, nails etc) most people remain unaware of it. In past, sufferes have been ashamed of talking about it and this too helps hide it from the public awareness. There are many websites for particular disorders and excellent treatments available now, and I think more and more people are becoming aware, tolerant and understanding of it.I hope this answers your questions.
