When news broke last week that some British girls as young as five years old were being treated for anorexia, many people turned their blame to the usual suspects -- the modelling and media industries.
Ultra-thin models and public figures like Kate Middleton along with Barbie dolls with impossibly thin waists and impossibly big busts are also on that list of blame. Fashion magazines packed with glamorous photos of slender bodies don't help, either.
However according to eating disorder experts thin Barbies and models may not be to blame after all.
It's much more complicated than that.
