the fashion industry affects eating disorders negatively because it sets its standards of beauty to unreachable goals... thin is okay as long as it is natural, some girls are born stick thin and cant do anything about it fine but showing only stick thin girls who represent a small population of people is really unfair for women of all ages, indeed young women see the models on the catwalks so thin, want to be like them and so try to lose weight at any cost... that's where eating disorders come along: losing weight is fine but has to be done the right way, by eating healthier foods, going to the gym, but avoiding eating or using diet pills and vomiting are not only health hazards but it can distort your whole body system.... sareen :)
The fashion industry can influence people's ideas about body image. However, some models are naturally slim and the fashion industry cannot completely be blamed for causing eating disorders.
Some - but certainly not all - women in the fashion industry, such as actresses, models, designers, etc., are affected by eating disorders like anorexia because the current social standard is to be thin.
Many times models are dangerously underweight. They may reach or maintain their weight through dangerous and unhealthy methods such as extreme caloric restriction or use of dangerous stimulants. Not all fashion models are unhealthy, to be sure, but eating disorders are especially rampant in the modeling industry.
