“Until television was introduced in Fiji in 1995, the islands had no reported cases of eating dis-orders. In 1998, three years after programs from the U.S. And Britain began broadcasting there, 62 percent of the girls surveyed reported dieting.” Susan Bordo, who makes this statement, believes that Western media is at fault for leading women around the globe to see themselves as fat and in need of a diet.

Feminist philosopher Susan Bordo argues that because of Western media's obsession with female thinness and dieting women all over the world are being led to diet. Citing Fiji as a case in point, Bordo notes that “Until television was introduced in 1995, the islands had no reported cases of eating dis-orders. In 1998, three years after programs from the U.S. And Britain began broadcasting there, 62 percent of the girls surveyed reported dieting.” Bordo's point is that the Western cult of diet-ing is spreading even to remote places across the globe, affecting increasing numbers of women.
