According to this article Argentina has the world's second highest rate of anorexia in the world followed by Japan.
Now I think it's obvious, even if you haven't spent much time here or talked to too many woman here. You see it on the streets everywhere; REALLY thin woman.
This really concerns me. Anorexia is considered the only psychological disorder that can lead directly to death. You are literally starving yourself to death until your heart gives out. I am just wondering if everyone else realizes this and what they think about it. It also might explain why so many people think Argentine woman are so difficult, I would be difficult too if I were starving.
This topic has been bothering me since the last conversation I had with an Argentine guy. I told him that I found it sad and scary that there is such a problem with eating disorders here. He told me no, the woman are naturally thin and if we want to talk about eating disorders we should look at the obesity problem in the U.S. I was like "WTF???"
How could anyone think that being so skinny that your thigh is as big as my arm is natural? Are they really that unaware of the issue or was I just talking to a really stupid guy?
