All about balance right, but indeed its a personal choice and it only really (to an extent) effects themselves and people have the right to do that.

Exactly. But it's when people become too into it, are taunted because of their weight, feel the need to impress others etc that it becomes a problem

but it depends upon your view of what is right. Personally I don't think being skinny or fat is good. I believe and try to maintain a healthy weight and in honesty I think most real people prefer people of a healthy, physically fit size.
It is only the fashion industry which creates the ill image.
Most guys want muscles and most girls want curves in the right places. Eating disorders do not allow for either of those situations.

Yeah I agree with you. Its just a real shame when people feel pressured by others to look the best they can, and end up going to far. Too many people die due to anorexia because of bullying. If a person feels comfortable with his/herself, no matter the size, then it shouldn't be a problem.

A lot of the time eating disorders are focused around not eating enough though. In actual fact the majority of eating disorders that cause long term health problems are ones where people eat too much of a bad thing. It is just media hypnosis you've fallen under.

Don't just assume. I'm discussing undereating, overeating is somewhat different, which I have not touched upon as of yet.
