21. LOL - I just described evolution
Maybe you better explain it to me - explain the evolutionary process by which there has been an explosion of 9 and 10 year olds with anorexia. Is there an evolutionary advantage causing more people to carry it, or has there been an environmental change causing the carriers to become ill?

Do you really think "better diagnosis" explains this:
Seven years ago "the idea of seeing a 9- or 10-year-old anorexic would have been shocking and prompted frantic calls to my colleagues. Now we're seeing kids this age all the time," Rosen says.

The reason I'm focusing on this is because you objected to niyad's post,
telling her to "read the piece", and I pointed out that it's mentioned several times in the article, with direct quotes showing I did "read the piece". Have you read the piece? Why are you pretending that there are no environmental influences? (cultural and/or physical environment) Are you in the media industry and don't want to be blamed?
