Many models are very tall and thin to begin with. They often watch what they eat and diet and exercise to maintain a thin frame. Many do have "poor" eating habits or eating disorders to maintain an extreme thinness, too.
Eating disorders have become so prevalent over the years because of how the ideals of society have changed and evolved. Many "role models" today are celebrities, who try to stay fit and thin. Also, models and magazines portray thinner people as being pretty. These ideals of "thin is good" cause many people, especially young women, to strive to be thinner. Often this leads to extreme dieting and eating disorders. Teasing and bullying, which is very common, can also lead to low self-esteem and depression, which are known causes of many eating disorders, too.
Eating Disorders Coalition was created in 2000.
Eating Disorders Association was created in 1989.
In many modern countries today, women are pressured to lose weight and meet the standards of models, some of which are totally unrealistic. Males are under less pressure to do this, generally, but there are males with eating disorders. One example is men who are jockeys, they have to maintain a certain weight, and some resort to eating disorders and compulsive exercise to do so.
Two eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulemia nervosa.
There are two eating disorders to some people: anorexia and bulimia. Anorexia and bulimia are not eating and eating a lot of food and then getting rid of it. But the only one that could cause obesity is binge, which is to eat and eat and eat until you're completely full. DON'T BINGE!
