Fashionably Anorexic

There are no such things as close answers. There are only right and wrong answers.
In math, anyway.

Anyway, Amy Tan, in your book, Joy Luck Club, Lena mentions being fashionably anorexic at the age of 13.
Woman, there is no such thing as being fashionably anorexic. There are sick anorexics and dead anorexics, but there are no fashionable anorexics. Anorexia nervosa is the most deadly psychological disease. It's not about the body anymore - it's all the in head. Do you know what self-torture in which anorexics induce on themselves? The hate, the fear, the way they are ruining their lives by bringing their metabolism to a standstill, their beautiful, God-given bodies to flat prunes, and their gorgeous hair to oily, balding heads? Fashion isn't even a consideration when you are killing yourself.

As for the people who don't keep their promises like me, well.
We're dumb.
