Supermodels are dying. Not from falling off runway. Not for falling through cracks in the cement but for the mental and physical hardships that are the requirements of the supermodel.

Luisel Ramos, 20, died of a heart attack due to anorexia.

Her little sister Eliana, also a model, 18, died six months after her sister in February of this year from anorexia.

December 2008, just three months before the Ramos sisters deaths, Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston died of anorexia at the age of 21.

Fashion heads from Madrid and Milan have set a minimum body mass for models who are in their shows. Other fashion heads in London and Paris have refused to follow the same guidelines, insisting off the record that their models come in at a size 0. Big designer's have continued to produce clothes at a size 0 and smaller insisting that tall skinnier models can show off their clothes better than fuller size models.

The Celery Diet. This diet consists of eating three stocks of celery and ten glasses of water. You can use catsup, mustard or soy sauce. Nothing white (like mayo or ranch dressing).

The Tea diet. Ten to twelve glasses of tea a day. No sugar, no creamer. Just water. And I guess if your hungry enough you can eat the tea bag.

The Tape worm diet. you swallow pills that contain a tape worm. The tape worm then eats all the food that you try to digest.

The Inflatable Bag Diet. You swallow a bag that has a tube attacted to it. The tube comes through your nose. You fill the bag with water as it sits your somach. This is supposed to fill your stomach so you feel more full.

The Purple diet. You only eat foods that are purple. Beets, grapes, plums. Mariah Carey is said to have been on this diet.

The Cigarette Diet. Whenever you get hungry just smoke a cagarette. The caffine in the cigarette is supposed to keep you from getting hungry.

These ideas about the body don't just center around women. Men are also falling into morbid ideas of the ideal weight you should be to become a supermodel. They have been subjected to the same modeling agents telling them to lose more and more weight to fit into designer's unreal perception of beauty.

As children you are taught to eat everything on your plate because there are people in Africa that are starving. You're taught to eat your vegetables so you can grow big and strong like Popeye. You are taught that you can't eat junk food before dinner or you'll ruin your appetite. You're told to feed a fever, starve a cold. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. All of these sayings and old wives tales that we hear as we grow up are mostly positive views about food.

Perception and ideals about food in this day and age can be so hyporcritical and warped that it's understandable how teens and adults are getting mixed signals.

McDonald's and just about every fast food restaurants have menu's that can be super sized. But yet they have a lower calorie menu right next to the hamburger with four patties and six slices of cheese. As a teenager, making a healthy decision at the drive thru can be somewhat of a conflicted decision.

Even when you think your eating healthy at these fast food restaurants, the calorie and fat intake is somewhat unbelievable. For example:

Wendy's Mandarian Chicken Salad: 520 calories/25 grams of fat

Chili's Southwestern Cobb Salad: 970 calories

Dairy Queens Grilled Chicken Salad: 680 calories/48 grams of fat

Ruby Tuesday Grilled Salmon Salad: 590 calories/ 35 grams of fat

Arby's Santa Fe Salad: 884 calories/55 grams of fat

A Big Mac has 580 calories. A Big Mac, medium fries and drink total 1250 calories.

Celebrity images and hero worshipping have truly made life for some people suffering from eating disorders agonizing. They can never seem to accomplish the perceived beauty that magazines and television have basically ordered them become.

And because of that, we will continue to see images of people starving themselves in countries like the U.S., where we have enough food to feed the whole world at any given time. People will continue to die because of their own food demons. Demons that our society have created.

The title of my hub has humorous tinge to it but there is nothing funny about this subject. It is unbelievable to me how our society chooses to ignore these warped concepts of beauty and self image that our own society has created.

We want our children to grow up healthy but we have one of the biggest fast food industries in the world and very few regulations enforcing nutrition.

Our schools at all grade levels have minimal physical education requirements. Running around a track for ten minutes doesn't seem suffice.

Celebrity worshipping seems to be getting worse. Celebrities themselves are under peer pressure to compete against each other in the business of beauty and thinness.

I understand that the illness of anorexia is a lot more about a mental illness than it is completely about food. I just don't think that our society is much help. I feel sad for all of those who have died and lived a tormented life all because of the effects of our misguided and misinformed media.

In conclusion, I have not ignored the responsibility of the parent. I feel that if you teach your children about food, health and nutrition at an early age, the less likely they will be to have fears about such things.

The knowledge is in the awareness of such subjects that plague our world.
