Question: Becky W. Thompson, "A Way Outa No Way: Eating Problems among African-American, Latina, and White Women"

"In this article, I reevaluate the portrayal of eating problems as issues of appearance based in the 'culture of thinness.' I propose that eating problems begin as ways women cope with various traumas including sexual abuse, racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, and poverty. Showing the interface between these traumas and the onset of eating problems explains why women may use eating to numb pain and cope with violations to their bodies."
