Having seen the pictures of her printed in the Mail, she was just a slender young woman- clearly no evidence of anorexia from those photos. Has Britain become such a nation of fatties now than any woman who has made an effort to keep in shape as he job would have required, is automatically deemed anorexic?
i don't think the mail (or any of the four hacks it took to write this thing*) actually know what anorexia is, its just thrown randomly around whenever a woman is deemed to be a bit thin. as if this is somehow the sole cause of wightloss in women, and not that weightloss is the mild side effect of loads of different things, like minor stress, or having been a bit peaky recently. or even that "thin" isn't the same thing as "underweight" anyway, and is basically a meaningless way to be assesing someones health from photographs.

The U.S. star, who is thought to have suffered a heart attack, was pictured looking painfully thin just two-and-a-half weeks ago at a fashion event in Los Angeles.
She even admitted at the time that she was a little concerned about her weight.
She reportedly told FOX News: 'I am a bit thinner now than I would like to be'.
...because nothing quite says anorexia like concern over your weightloss.
*is the mail just a journalisitc attempt at that infinate number of monkeys = shakepear theory? if they get enough idiots tapping away at keyboards eventually a newspaper will just evolve from it.
