Brazillian Supermodel Gisele Bundchen - the highest paid model in the world claims families are to blame for anorexia in models — not the fashion industry.

Anorexia became especially controversial in the fashion industry after 21-year-old Brazillian model Ana Carolina Reston died but the truth is anorexia is a minor world problem when you compare it to the current problem with obesity and diabetes.

30 years ago the type 2 diabetes problem virtually didn’t exist now if you live in the western world you’re far more likely to be overweight or obese than have anorexia.

And now that its mainstream to eat takeout every other day due to the convenience culture we’ve developed - and because so many people are overweight - it seems normal.

In my life time I could probably count on two hands the amount of people I’ve come across who are potentially anorexic, but every other person in Australia I meet is overweight.

The truth is as people over the last 30,000 years have more often than not had low body fat and often had random caloric restriction like supermodels. (Granted it wasn’t by choice but this is how we evolved)

Anyway like problems with being overweight there are a number of factors and influences that cause somebody to become anorexic.

Parents are not soley to blame for their kids becoming anorexic although they do have to take a lot of the responsibility.

The media and peer groups are generally far more influential now days than parents ( but this can be due to poor parenting habits ) so they have to take a lot of the blame for anorexia.

The fashion industry as a whole is also partly to blame since they were the ones that actually hired these anorexics.

But overall this anorexia is a minor issue which gets far more attention than it deserves. Considering that death due to diabetes related complications is fast becoming the number one cause of death in the developed world people need to be focusing more on this epidemic.

Type-2 adult onset diabetes is caused by an eating disorder - chronic overeating.

Not only do people chronically overeat but they eat the wrong kinds of food - like sugar which is incredibly addictive.

Sugar and other refined carbs are poisons which the human body was not designed to consume. The fat cells created around the abdomen are the bodies way of disposing of these toxins.

Its seen as normal to eat sugar, refined carbs, and processed trans-fats when in fact these foods are deadly - just like anorexia can be deadly.

Clean healthful eating is the way to a healthful figure.

Eat whole organic free range foods. Vegetables, fruit, seafood, meat, eggs, nuts and if raw milk.
