[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, but those comparing high level ballet to high level baseball or riding—this is crazy. Friends of mine who danced in high school told me they’d been on diets since age 8. That is NOT pro. That’s a culture of thinness starting from almost the very beginning. That obsession with thinness simply does not exist in the same way for riders or lax players or field hockey players at young ages (the only sport I have direct experience with). [/quote]
