Society partly to blame for anorexia

Re: “Taste and Anorexia” [Oct. 1]: There may be recent studies finding a biological connection to eating disorders, but have we forgotten what kind of society we live in? Society puts out this image that beautiful is thin, the skinnier the better. Look at our teen idols of today, all seen as beautiful and glamorous, but mostly thin, with magazine headlines reading, “Down to 90 pounds.” I do believe eating disorders start in the brain, but from an emotional level, not just biological.
