Eating Disorders at Record Hig

Smartly attired in a micro-miniskirt, the young attorney makes her way through the courtroom. It’s Monday night at nine o’ clock. Women across the country are glued to FOX saying to themselves, “Wow, I wish I was as thin as her.” “Perfect” women displayed in the media may appeal to many viewers, but eating disorders are becoming the backlash of the popularity.

Everywhere you turn, on television, in, magazines, and in movies, “thin is in.” TV shows like Ally McBeal, Total Request Live, and countless music video seen on MTV and VH1 are showing females “the average girl.” “The average girl” is shown as beautiful, thin, and essentially- perfect (Cain 2). This is never true and some girls don’t realize it (Cain 2). Actresses also try to keep their “flawless” image up while attending award shows and other public events. Actresses and singers have more recently become a major influence in how people think they should look (Lewis 3). Not only do you watch their music videos and see how they are dressed, just listening to their songs gives you visualization (Lewis 3). Models are on the covers of every magazine in the grocery store (Lewis 3).
