If your question is "WHERE would they get an eating disorder from?": An eating disorder isn't a cold or a bacteria so its not passed from person to person. Its also very hard to treat. Its a lifelong debilitating disease where you become your own worst enemy and nothing satisfies you. It could happen to anyone but it typically starts as a young teenager and typically woman but sometimes men. There are actually MORE THAN ONE eating disorder, Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder and EDNOS. Anorexia is where you fast and exercise until you are skin and bones but you still feel fat. Bulimia is where you binge (eat a huge amount of food) then you get it out of your body by some means, Binge Eating Disorder is where you eat and feel completely out of control unless your eating, And EDNOS is 'Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified' where you don't meet ANY criteria for one diagnose or you have pieces of two diagnoses.
