More of a 'wave' than real.
We're both beyond the age of eating disorders. Both are saying that the tendencies were there, but wasn't acceptable. Both coped. Now exceptions are made for the same problems. BTW, Katie and I are still alive, some of those that came after, given excuses?

"I kind of hesitated to even bring it up," she told The Associated Press after the taping. "But I felt that if I expect people on my show to be honest, then, when relevant, I owe it to people watching to be honest myself.
"I wanted to focus on my guests," she said, "while acknowledging one of the reasons this issue is so important to me: I went through it."...
