   Does anyone happen to know how old this video is? I need to site the date for the report I'm doing.

   She never says that 1 in 10 people have anorexia, she says 1 in 10 people have an eating disorder. I am certainly willing to believe that both you and she are correct. But people are a lot more likely to believe you when you give them your reason beyond the fact. Cause the way it sounded was that you were just trying to be an ass and discredit someone who is trying to do good things for women. After hearing all you have to say I don't think that was what you were trying to do.

   I think hollywood is to blame for a lot of girls and women having eating disorders. Back in the day, women had real bodies. I guess Marilyn Monroe would be considered fat, and she had a great figure in my opinion. Kate Moss does not look sexy to me. She looks like she has AIDS. I can't understand why excessive skinnyness is considered sexy.

   you can be a smart ass and act all laid back and stuff- but i have a doctor and a dietitionist that i see regulary, because i have ana. and they have givin me the statistics. also, every website that ive been to about ana, have said 1 in 100!!! and for who i am- well im 12 and live with ana. so ya, stop being so concieted.

   yeah, because I'm going to believe you, who as far as I know have done no research, over her who does this type of research for a living. Yeah right. Who the hell are you?

7. by Roselin — @ 13:22:35

   well, actually 1 in a 100 have anorexia. not 1 in 10

   She's quite slim herself, isn't she?

   of course your view is not wrong, i mean I work in the Fashion Business. But I can tell you that the most Girls there are Natural Thin and the Goals are not impossible. I mean I see that Girls in my Work time. And you cant deny that People all over the World become fat. For Germany for Example 51% of the Women and 66% Men are overweight. So to be realistic fat is more than thin People, but of course to thin is a Problem too. Look the statistic and i guess you will see.

    There is no panic and this womans opinion is not a lie...The concern (and the point she is making) is that the media is setting impossible goals that make the majority of women feel inadequate. This in turn causes eating disorders and the desire to mutilate ones own body through plastic surgery. If anyone thinks this is a positive way of inspiring the obese to lose weight. Think again.

11. by Amirah — @ 14:54:31

    dont understand the panic here, the Humans in the Western countries become fatter and fatter. Now Acting here like the TV tell us to be thin, is a lie to urself. Most of us are overweight, even with watching commercials. Get real with yourself People.

    So true...I can't believe I was once influenced...I'm glad I opened my eyes before I was damaged incurably.

    "80% of 10 yr old girls on diets" dat is f-in disgustin! the media plays a big part in this whole "slim is beautiful" kinda thing but it has alot to do with girls' self-esteem as well! I'm a girl & i feel sick wen i see an anorexic girl or just a stick thin girl, i cant see how anyone can find that sexy! i'm 17, bout 5ft1 & weigh bout 6:10, size 8 (6 sumtimes)i dont TRY to b dat weight, i just am, i used to b a chubby baby but i do ALOT of sports. girls just need to realise wot's important!

14. by Elizaveta — @ 16:03:28

    Yes, I agree with you. I am sick of big boobs everywhere! And the surgeons thrive!!!

15. by Shahana — @ 16:26:27

    she was talking about the body type not the body of a woman. Body type is given by your genes, therefore that did not change!

    do you know how many people die from starving right now?

17. by LANCE — @ 17:12:25

    I think Paris Hilton is so-so not great or anything, but just turn the local news on and when they go through the volley ball highlights, those chicks are specifically hot, not because they're underage but because of the clothes they wear... its all in the clothes. Moving aside the point because im fairly intoxicated, I will add that 80's chick are totally un hot, and 90's only so-so, truly I need to seek psychological help, because im making a few discoveries in my thinking.

18. by KAMAL — @ 17:35:24

    I'm a 28 year old dude, and yeah its true, i'm almost embarressed to turn the TV on when im in the room with my mom. Every chick on tv is geared to driving me nuts.

19. by Gerlach — @ 17:58:23

    What a bunch of lies; "women's body types haven't changed." Of course they have, there is an epidemic of obesity, most women are overweight. More cultural pressure to stay thin would seem to be in order. You "can't diet your way" to thinness. Another obvious total lie.

    No disrespect intended. Yes, Paris is tall &gorgeous, has feet so huge she could not buy shoes in a department store, and she is abnormal. So am I. I only wanted to say that girls built like Paris are just that way by nature. Gaining weight would not make them gorgeous lush thick Evas and JLos. It would just make them tall fine boned women with excess fat hanging in all the wrong places. I know this from youthful experience trying to be full figured. LOL@me!

22. by Michella — @ 19:07:20

    Well said! Perhaps we need to shift from a "how you look" ideal to a "how you perform" ideal. I hated being judged as "good because you are slim" when it was nothing I had DONE. But I loved riding, shooting, archery, ballet (it hurt like hell my skinny undeveloped muscles) and martial arts. I'm old now. When I remember the great moments of my life, I don't remember what size I was or what I wore. I remember how my body felt. How it FELT to be inside that body.

23. by SINOPA — @ 19:30:19

    Look, body image issues are not caused by magazines. As a young woman I had the culturally ideal body type: tall, fine boned, slender, willowy. I never thought about my weight until girls asked me how I got that way. I felt senseless guilt re my genes. Prior, I'd tried overeating in the hopes I would grow a bosom. The example of my best friends agony over her D cups at 12 did not deter me from wishing. Media told us each we were the "ideal" and it did not help us with body image.

24. by Dannell — @ 19:53:18

    Paris Hilton is naturally very tall, fine boned, and slender. She has developed muscles. Her ribs do not show. There is nothing wrong with the way Paris Hilton looks. She is not painfully thin or unnatural. Now, Jennifer Lopez can never look like that, now would she want to. But don't hate on tall slender girls.

    paris hilton is skinny...not very nice
