Problem: A major irony of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa is that they occur in times and places of relative affluence (consider the "vomitoria" of ancient Rome, where wealthy Romans would go to purge after binging on lavish feasts). Such a pattern would logically suggest that these eating disorders are socially and culturally influenced. Discuss your perception of the degree to which media and current culture impact body image and disordered eating. Fortify your position with examples.
