The Globalization of Eating Disorders

I think that the eating disorders need to be resolved with education. Schools around the world should be teaching students about this topic. In my opinion there should be a balance, you can be slim, but if you are not healthy, it doesn't worth it. People should keep their shape and health because that is what keeps people alive. The media spread the image of a "perfect" body which is not real. Some of these actors work out everyday and live for that. A normal person doesn't have enough time to get a body of an actor. Also some of these bodies aren't healthy, they have a great shape but in the inside they aren't great at all. I think that being very fat, like in the African countries, is not good. This could bring heart problems and other circulatory system problems. With education from kids to adults will have a great impact with the image problems and eating disorders.

I agree with you, one’s education has to do with everything in today’s world. If future generations are well educated we can change this image of a perfect body. We have to remember that our health comes first and being skinny does not mean being healthy. We have to maintain balance in our life.
