I thought this was interesting. I remember seeing a documentary about the fattening of young ladies in the Sudan before their weddings. It seems that now it has went in the other extreme and now they're beginning to see problems with anorexia. Maybe it's the girls way of rebelling and trying to regain some sense of control over their bodies? I'm sure not all the girls are having problems with anorexic type issues but it's interesting (in an odd way) to see it develop like this.
