I'd wager there is a direct correlation b/w the increase of obesity in this country and the increase of eating disorders. The fatter we get, the more attractive (and unique) skinny becomes...

I have noticed that my female friends and I are significantly thinner now in our early 30s than we were in our early 20s because the standards of beauty have changed.
In college, everyone seemed to be from a size 6 to a size 10, with little variance at either end. Now, most of us seem to be a size 2/4 or 10/12, with wild variance, especially at the upper end.
I love watching old movies from the late 80s and how comparatively heavy the lead actresses look. Or reruns of Friends.
