This is a ridiculous post. With all due respect, you don't know what causes anorexia any more than the experts do. I believe mine began as a way to control a chaotic and sexually abusive childhood. There is not one single member of my immediate or extended family with an eating disorder. It took thirty years for me to understand the causes of this horrible disease in my case. 80 percent of anorexics were abused as children--I don't believe it's coincidence. As long as Americans continue to blame genetics for a myriad of diseases--obesity, depression, eating disorders, etc, etc., we will continue the cycle. People are not born with emotional problems.
