Society and the person, as well as their family, i watched my sister struggle with an eating disorder for much of her life and believe me it wasn't pretty....i think that if society's views on beauty changed for instance so a HEALTHY looking woman and by healthy i mean a person who eats regularly not a 300 lb person or perhaps place less value on looks and more on other thingslike personality... but also if a person really believes that appearance is that important they should be slapped.
