disorders.”? Considering this statement, why do you think there is such a problem with weight and how does the nature vs. nurture debate impact it?

“Cultures without a thin ideal for women are also cultures without eating

I agree. I think its definitely nurture and the media's influence on Western culture. In countries where food is scarce it is a sign of wealth to be slightly overweight - its like their version of designer clothing - 'I can afford good food and you can't.'
I definitely think eating disorders would be unheard of in these countries although women try to fatten up any way they can by eating things like animal fat or butter in huge amounts so i guess you could call that a form of disordered eating in itself.
Also in most countries women do things that hurt themselves to make them beautiful - i.e. wearing rings around their necks, ear stretching etc. So i dont think mage obsession is just a western problem - it just takes different forms elsewhere.

IDK, but I don't think it matters if a person is thin or not, the "ideal" is being healthy. Healthy eating, healthy diet, exercise, and so forth. IDK but I don't think that a person would be balked at in any culture if they were taking care of themselves (meaning living a healthy lifestyle) yet they were not rail thin maybe.
