To sound like a callous old fart....
If people didn't have as much access to food today....the way it used to be, there wouldn't be anything as sad as this. PERIOD.
And this is true for the bulimics, anorexic's, the obese, the morbidly obese, and super morbidly obese.
Remove the food...and there won't be eating disorders.....this kind of social problem, did not exist....for the thousands of years...and doe NOT exist in 3rd world countries........they do not have the luxury for this kind of non-sense....and its damn sad that it's eating disorder WEEK...not eating disorder DAY...what's next eating disorder MONTH!!!
