Maybe it's that they "look" more closer to death. I think it's easier to come to terms with the fact that there are a lot of people that eat themselves to death, then it is to accept that there are people that, well, just don't eat.. until they die. It somehow feels more suicidal. Anorexia is some scary shit. Speaking of anorexia I saw this review of the new 90210 make-over on Swedish television. The reviewer gave it a 3 out of 5 but commented on the prevalence of obvious anorectic members of the cast, pointing out one in particular (I can't remember which) and showed a clip of her being complimented for her looks in one of the episodes. That is some scary shit too; that they can show people suffering from a lethal weight related condition, and instead of reflecting over it and taking it serious, they put a male actor in there to compliment her body. That scares me. I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s definately true that most people find extremely thin people more “scary” than extremely fat ones.
