Answer to Question 1

Answer: In the United States, more than 69 percent of adults age 20 and older are overweight or obese. This reality of the typical American body is entirely disconnected from current media standards of weight, which idealize slender, highly muscular males and large-breasted women with chiseled cheekbones and tiny waists. Social media messages contribute to this disconnect by showing unrealistically thin bodies beside messages encouraging people to get thin or offering tips on how to become an anorexic.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary.
Anorexia nervosa: continued dieting or self-starvation despite being thin; refuses to eat around others or in public places; critical of appearance; expresses feeling of being fat when actually they are underweight; uses laxatives or diuretics; compulsive exercising.
Bulimia nervosa: doesn't exhibit control over eating; eating large amounts of food with no obvious gain in weight; use of laxatives; going to bathroom after meals; discolored teeth; fluctuations in weight.
Binge eating disorder: lack of control over eating; large weight gain; eating unusually large amounts of food; emotional eating; eating at unusual times.
