Brazil Still Obsessed by Thin, Despite 4th Anorexia Death
 Published: Jan 3, 07

Last September, Trend Hunter posted an article about Madrid banning skinny models from their catwalk.  Maybe Brazil needs to follow suit.  The style conscious upper class are still starving themselves in the name of so-called beauty.  Now, a fourth death is causing headlines.

The struggle for food has long been a drama for millions of impoverished Brazilians. But these days the nation is transfixed by another sort of starvation: anorexia among the successful and well off. The deaths of four young women in recent weeks from anorexia — a disorder characterized by an abnormal fear of becoming obese, an aversion to food and severe weight loss — have been splashed across the front pages of newspapers nationwide.
