Gisele Bundchen Blames Anorexia on Families

In recent months, four Brazilian women have died of anorexia. Lots of finger-pointing and media discussion of the disease have ensued.

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen's opinion is that unsupportive families are to blame for anorexia and that the fashion industry is not to blame for models' susceptibility to the disease.

"I never suffered this problem because I had a very strong family base," Bundchen was quoted as saying in Friday's edition of O Globo newspaper. "The parents are responsible, not fashion."
