It depends on the culture. Nearly every culture "looks down" upon or does not approve of eating disorders. Some cultures highly value a thin or petite woman, though. In these cultures, found commonly in the United States and Asia, eating disorders are kept secret, but the results are flaunted and viewed as positive.
In certain sports, such as gymnastics, Cheerleading, diving, dancing (especially Ballet), and other sports, being thin is seen as being very good, so eating disorders are more accepted as a means to improve one's own ability and appearance in the sport.
