Unfair: This is ridiculous. People in general flip out more when they see a skinny person than they do when they see an overweight person. And most of the time the overweight person has more health problems than the underweight person! Even though obesity is rampant, thin people are becoming more and more victimized!
Being overweight and underweight are
equally unhealthy. However, I agree with everyone who thinks the dancers in this movie weren't underweight. They were slim but they're (nearly) pro dancers - they work to much to develope any fat, it's not as if they starve themselves to get that slim. Actually, they probably eat a lot to have the energy and strength to dance all day. As others have said, it's from all the dancing and not a lack of food that they look like that.
But ALL ballet dancers are extremely skinny and "flat"
Thin, yes, but not necessarily flat. I know a girl who has been dancing since she was 5 and is a size 30DD. Boobs are made more breat tissue so some dancers will always have big breasts no matter how hard they work out. But if you meant pro dancers then it's probably true that most of the are flat - there aren't that many companies that will accept dancers with curves (although this is slowly changing. Strong is the new thin).
Over exercising is form of eating disorder. You evercise way too much and burn more calories than you eat. "you tend to use so much of your body that it burns all the fat and leaves you with toned muscle."<That is a good example of this kind of eating disorder.
You were right about the over exercising being a form of eating disorder, but the example you gave was completley wrong. That is exercising, not over exercising. Ballet dancers are
trained and so they are getting controlled exercise. And from their training they are left with "no fat and toned muscles".
