The first time I was visually exposed to an eating disorder was when I started watching the famous British TV series - Skins. One of the main characters, Cassie Ainsworth, was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Her friends referred to her as ''the girl who never eats''.
This is spot on! While I appreciate that the media tries to shed light on eating disorders, portraying them in this manner often does more harm than good, especially since eating disorders thrive on comparison.
Excellent and important piece, thanks for sharing!
