Again, my words are being twisted around here. I NEVER said that we should accept anorexia or let it become accepted. I'm merely making a point that obesity isn't that much different than anorexia, yet it's more acceptable than anorexia. I don't think neither obesity OR anorexia should be accepted. I think the US needs to do the country a favor and get rid of fast food restaurants, the advertisements, and promote healthy food choices instead. So I'm not really sure what you're trying to say.

Trying to prevent people from becoming anorexic willingly is like buying a teenager a car and trying to prevent them from losing control or dieing in a car accident. You can only do so much for someone, but in the end...the only person who can help you the most is yourself. It's obvious in society that just because someone tells us not to, encourages not to do it, doesn't mean that people aren't going to find ways to do it. So this is a weak argument.
