Although it does contribute to the sheer popularity of them, there are several other factors that contribute to this disease, such as: mental illness, family environment, personality type, societal views, biology, etc… I also wanted to raise awareness of other eating disorders besides Anorexia and Bulimia, however, due to a time restriction on the project, I could only include a few.
