Thin is In (The Genes)

Contrary to feminist doctrine, the eating disorder anorexia nervosa is not caused by evil white males imposing their standards of beauty upon helpless women. It's genetic.

An international study concludes that the eating disorder anorexia nervosa, a rare but dangerous mental condition, is primarily genetic in origin.
The study also found that a tendency to be anxious and depressed, or neuroticism, early in life is a strong predictor of having to battle anorexia years later.


Considering that we have just escaped National Eating Disorders Week, the timing of this study could hardly have been better. Last week would have been better I suppose.
