Huh?
In 2002 this girl did not know what anorexia was? I have a very hard time believing that. It was a good artocle right up until that point, when the interview subject lost some credibility for me.
Anorexia is something that families have to open their eyes to diagnose. Parents might now know if their kid smokes or drinks or engages in sexual behavior at school, but they damn well should know if they EAT.
I went to an all girls school, so I have seen any number of eating disorders in my time. Never had a problem identifying it. I don't understand how a parent could miss it, at least not before college.
