There are MANY people around the world with anorexia, but isn't it better than being FAT?

I am talking round, tubular, obese. Thin is in, and always has been. Now there are people that take the thinness TOO seriously, and get deadly thin. Karen Carpenter, Tracey Gold (formely of tv series "Growing Pains"), and Mary Kate Olsen. Now Brittany Murphy has died, and some are speculating whether she was anorexic and it led to cardiac arrest which caused her death. Some others say Keira Knightley is also very thin. There are MORE people with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure from being overweight. That's mostly here in the states, where we have the dreaded (but tasty!!) "western diet".
