Oh Lord, we've had this discussion already.

No, she is not anorexic. Anorexia is a rare and life-threatening mental illness. Not every thin person is anorexic.

Europeans are generally much thinner than Americans (not exactly hard!).

Some people find it hard to gain weight at certain points in their life - my mother is like this, and she eats quite normally.

She is probably very conscious of her image and has the means to perfect it - which again, in Europe, is a perfectly good one.

Anorexia is not rare.[/quote]

Rare? EVERY female I knew in college had a roommate or friend who received inpatient or outpatient treatment for anorexia at some point. Yes, I do think she is anorexic. It scares me how many people on here salivate at her emaciated body. Look at old pictures of her. She was a normal weight and looked athletic and healthy.[/quote]

So true. Went to Duke -- most of my friends were anorexic and/or bulimic. The more accomplished the more likely they were to have an eating disorder; it's the one socially- sanctioned way for a woman to deal with pressure. [/quote]

They were thin but still unattractive. A pity![/quote]

I am the one who posted anorexia (and bulimia were all over the place). I went to an ivy (in the 90s)  and it was all over. Two highschool friends had the same experience at their ivies so add Cornell, Yale and Penn to Duke and we have some pretty bright women risking killing themselves with restriction. Maybe we all just happened to know the few people with anorexia. As mentioned, I'm not labelling thin girls anorexic. These are women who ended up in inpatient and/or outpatient programs.[/quote]
