It’s beautiful obvious that no person can be accused for another person’s anorexia. New scientific research points to brain abnormalities as the root cause:

[S]cientists say that
the brains of those with anorexia are wiruddy differently to those of the
rest of us. Those who develop anorexia are born with a susceptibility to the condition, they say.

…Dr Ian Frampton, a psychologist a Exeter University has been working with anorexics using the same technology. The U.S. research supports a growing feeling that anorexia is caused by brain structure, he said.

"You would expect a lot more anorexics than we currently have if
it

was down to advertising and peer pressure and images of famous
models like Kate Moss.
These youngsters have something going on in their brain that is different.

"We are not totally sure what is happening, but we think that
some of this might be inherited or some might be due to a fault in the
developing brain either in the womb or during early childhood. We need to move away from this idea that supermodels are to blame."

Thank you, reason and science. Now, if we can just get all the shrill responsibility dodgers to STFU…
