I heard somewhere that even guys' clothes are going the way of vanity sizing. A size 34 pants might really fit someone who has a 36 inch waist in some stores!

I also agree that we can't say that a certain size is "anorexic" and another size is "obese". If you're 5' tall, a size 0 is just on the skinny side while a 10 may be verging on fat. All this vanity sizing is also causing really small people to be sized out of stores! Ten years ago, the smallest size at the Gap was a 1. It's now a 0, and the 0 is slightly bigger than it was two years ago.
