Summary
Examines cultural preoccupation with being thin, placing the most severe eating disorders -- anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and compulsive overeating -- within a broad social context. Looks at physcological causes, such a low self-esteem, and encourages viewers to accept their body type and eat to be healthy, not to be thin. Five young women in varying stages of recovery discuss their eating disorders.
