This seems particularly popular amongst celebrity females: being as thin as possible without passing out (or dying). I guess it could be seen as bodymodification? (since my lovely online dictionary says "Body modification (or body alteration) is the permanent or semi-permanent deliberate altering of the human body for non-medical reasons") I couldn't care less if those celebrities starve themselves or not, if it wasn't for the rolemodels they are supposed to be. They make the trend, and they know it. Nobody would think of wearing skinny jeans 5 years ago, and look at it know. Being stick-thin used to be something only the catwalkmodels were bothered with, but the last decade or so, more and more celebrities seem to go for this thin look. And this image of thin look has his effects on "normal" people, whereas many people, especially women, feel the pressure to look the same as those celebrity bobbleheads do. There is nothing wrong with trying to stay healthy and taking care of your body, but starving yourself to be as thin as your body will let you, that is bad. And think of all the lovely and delicious food you are missing out on???
