"The DSM sort of supports the idea of Ralph Lauren ads and anorexia being paired. I just don’t see this. This direct linkage seems to fuel the fire that eating disorders are adolescent obsessions with looking good. That fuels another fire — that treatment is simple: Just eat, write body affirmations, paint your nails, you’ll be fine. This starts a whole other inferno of self-hate and shame for the sufferer."
