Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Media messages often encourage an obsessive concern with physical appearance, sometimes to the detriment of people's health and self-esteem. About 30 million Americans (most of them female) will suffer from an eating disorder sometime in their lives. There is solid evidence linking eating disorders to media consumption, which means that media users, including social media users, are more likely to suffer disordered eating than people who are exposed to little or no media.
