ED's are very often times related to family problems or rocky childhoods. Not always, but often. I guess it's easier to place blame somewhere else when tragedy occurs. It is not only because of the fashion industry/the media. That can trigger an eating disorder- but there has to be a predisposed mindset first. Everyone is exposed to the media, but not everyone develops an ED. It's not about being thin, it's about using starvation to cope with emotional problems.
