Answer 2

Its because the advertising industry paints the whole town red with hoardings of thin beautiful air brushed women.
Science does it bit by constaltly telling that fat is bad & that food is bad & fitness industry wants people in its gyms, to buy health products who got lured by McDonalds to eat its burgers & who were enticed by ads.

Thinner is healthier than fatter, within reason, of course. Thinner is perceived as beautiful. You will have more energy, look better. Some folks do it for the aesthetic reasons, and some folks for their own health.

I do it for me. What other people think is not my main concern, since I don't have a relationship with them....smiling
