What part of the hypothalamus would have to be damaged for one to be anorexic?

The hypothalamus does not have great enough of an influence on the human appetite to cause "anorexia." You have to remember that cultural influences, regular eating behavior, and contractions of the stomach also cause hunger. In addition to all that, anorexia is not a condition caused by the hypothalamus. Anorexia is more of a cognitive disability. I'm no scientist or doctor, so you should definitely take a visit to the library before making generalizations based on just what I say.
