Abstract
This cross-cultural comparison is a broad examination of eating disorder development in two distinct countries: the United States and Italy. It examines how cultural attitudes towards food and body image affect the likelihood and development of eating disorders in America and Italy. It determines whether there are significant differences in this context between the two countries and cultures. It elaborates on cultural attitude towards food and body image and whether they have any effect on the likelihood and development of eating disorders in general.
