We talk about the horrible problem of eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia--and yes, anorexia esp. is a terrible disease), but isn't the bigger problem in the United States overeating?

I wonder what it would be like to be married to a fat woman. Would it bother me? Would I like it?

Of course, many of you have wives that are having to deal with what it's like to be married to a fat man.
I haven't seen a news story on anorexia or bulimia in forever. I see news stories related to the obesity problem nearly every day. Who is talking about anorexia and bulimia?

And while I am not buying the whole fat and fit (not at 300 pounds, at least) idea, I would welcome more realistic images of women in the media. Most women who maintain a healthy weight with a balanced diet and regular exercise are still considered fat by fashion industry/Hollywood standards.
