That is a very common - and usually legitamitely backed up - theory. Though it is not the sole cause for eating disorders, the media can be largely to blame. Most TV shows, fashion models, magazines, ect. portray women who are successful and deemed as "beautiful" being thin and pretty. This can send a message to people viewing this media source that they must be thin, too. Also, ads are always present for diets and fads and weight-loss methods.
