    You cannot possibly be serious in that statement... those PS are some of the worse I've seen, I can hardly imagine that people can believe they are real... <_<

    Yeah, that's the best one out of the batch... but anorexic people (as supposedly depicted) shouldn't have supple fingers like the girl in the photo does... So still bad -sweat

    haha perhaps :p

    if you take a look at their head and then their body... you see that the combination doesn't seem to be correct... even for anorexia person the heaad wouldnt't be so large compared to the body :p

    Never seen the models is one thing, but bad photoshop should be easy enough to tell for PS-savvy folks... -unsure

    But I don't know, I am just upset because stupid (not to mention fake) photos like these got people so rallied up about anorexia and propagate the myth about the "dying models". <_<

    Someone is a perfectionist -whistle jk

    Not only that, but whoever that did those PS didnt correct the color shading. None of them match properly.

    Hiake (defender of the anorexic, needy, and unjust) to the rescue -batman

    but those who don't get treatment (physical/mental) for anorexia do die? so anorexia is an urgent matter to prevent/raise awareness against.

    That title does fit better -devil

    Yes, eating disorders, most commonly anorexia and bulimia, do cause death if no treatment is forecoming. But the first documented (or more accurately, highly publicized) case of death from anorexia was a POP STAR back in 1983. Not a model. POP STAR, her name was Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters' fame. Yet somehow we simply cannot WAIT to hop onto the bandwagon to bash the fashion industry for making the wrong choice (of models) and giving the distorted image of beauty and whatnot. That's mob psychology at its finest if you ask me.

    It is one thing to raise awareness in order to prevent eating disorder-related deaths, however, as an occupation I find models unfairly judged (on the weight issue). It appears to me to be hypocripsy when people like images of draping clothes over skinny (if not SUPER skinny) models and make purchases based upon such preference WHILE calling out to "end anorexia in models now".

    I mean, if we are SO concerned over people being underweight (those ail'd with eating disorder and otherwise), we should never start praising a star for losing weight (unless he/she is obese, which they rarely to NEVER are). By blaming the anorexic/eating disorder trend on the fashion industry (or the choice of models), we are ridding ourselves from our partaking in this matter.

    Yup, the body starts shutting down to insufficient nutrients circulating. Muscles suffer atrophy (shrinking in size) and eventually they wont be able to perform any movements. First treatment would be to make them gain weight then after, they would be "reeducated" about proper nutrition. However, this process is extremely strenous due to the fact that they have a distorted image of themselves. We might perceive them as unhealthy, but in their mind, they either consider themselves pretty or still fat.
