But because of this, we are supposed to believe that being bombarded with thin images in the media has no negative effect on young impressionable girls, eating-disordered or not?

How does it conclude from the results of this study that our thin-obsessed culture (including models/celebs) aren't an encouraging and detrimental influence?

(As this blog says, how does proving A causes B, disprove that C can also cause (or, in this case, at least contribute) to B?)

i think sometimes people chose to ignore the fact that eating disoders =/= disordered views on body image and towards food. since one is social and the other biological, often people only focus on one or the other

I feel sorry for her, she looks terrible

[Surfbunny]

does anyone know how fast Tara has lost all this weight`?her skin has really suffered it seems...

[XxpinktinksxX]

She knows how to get attention and that's what she obviously wants....

^With enough photoshop these pictures will make some FHM list and Tara will be back as a big sex symbol re-vamped. Why else would she be in a jewel encrusted bikini?

Tara Reid is certainly not the epitome of health. I think her weight-loss has something to do with the fact that she's widely known to smell like a dirty ashtray (and looks like one too tbh). I suspect it also has something to do with substances we cannot discuss

^ @ her looking like a dirty ashtray! That is absolutely the best description I've read so far. I feel so mean!

Well, unfortunately, the nature of competition and self-criticism leads to that - if property A is "thin", then you can never be thin enough. If it is fat, then you can never be fat enough and if it is having small feet then your feet can never be small enough. Competition - it's human nature.

Working around casino people, she unfortunately looks to me just like these burned out, over the hill wives of, ummm, "questionable" guys from Queens...The over baked, botoxed, classless former trophy wives...But the saddest thing is Tara is 32, not 62....And was perfectly lovely just a couple of years ago...

I don't mean to come off as rude, but I'm just curious as to why you decided to share that with us (especially since the topic at the time was Tara Reid).

Serious question..

I think a question like that would lead to answers having to be backed up with personal experiences with EDs and such, which aren't really allowed.
