Reflection #5:Is there a solution to Global Eating Disorder?

Global eating disorder is all around the world, is a problem that have spread in the whole world. Is something that people worried about. This are basically eating and body images problems and this eating and body images problems are not only crossing racial and class lines, but gender lines. They have also become a global phenomenon.

An example for this is one that gave us the book. Fiji's, they are islands that do not have access to televisions until 1995, when a single station was introduced. Before that, all the girls no matter how large , they were comfortable with their bodies. After that 11 percent of woman reported vomiting to control weight and 62 percent of the girls surveyed reported dieting.

The real question is: 'Is there a solution to global eating disorder?' I can not give the answer to that question because i am not familiar with any of this problems and never encounter with one but I'm sure that there must be a solution to at least control it, not cure it, control it. With all the technology we have in this days I'm sure there is something, some pills or medicine that help people with this problems to control that person for a while, so they wont feel uncomfortable with their body images.

Is like i said before, there have to be something, also it is a cultural problem.. If eating disorder were biochemical, as some people claim, how can we account for there spread across race, gender and nationality? What I'm saying is that in empire of images, no one lives in a bubble or self-generated "dysfunction" or permanent immunity. The sooner we recognize that and start paying attention to the culture around us and what it is teaching our children the sooner we can begin developing some strategies for changes.
