Absolutely. We saw sort of the death knell of a few organizations like MediaWatch and other similar organizations. I'm not sure when those organizations folded, but it happened in recent years. We desperately need watchdog organizations attending to the kinds of images that are circulating.
You know, I think we also need to think about how eating disorders themselves are represented in society, in mainstream society. We need to think about that critically. In my remarks I alluded to this idea of the single story or a singular representation of who is the woman who develops an eating disorder. In Canada's multiracial and multicultural society I think that image no longer fits the reality of who is actually developing eating problems in this country.
Certainly when I was doing clinical work in Toronto I worked with a broad range of women from every racial group and cultural group. That notion that an eating disorder is sort of a purview of the white young woman who's upper-class or middle-class no longer holds true.
I think we also have to be thinking about the representation of eating disorders in the broader culture. I think Andrea also has something to say about that.
