Not only is it less stigmatized, but perceptions of normalcy become skewed. I keep hearing things like, "Ugh. He's too skinny. I like my men with a little more meat on their bones." said in regard to someone with a perfectly healthy weight. It's like the image anorexics have of themselves but in reverse.
