It is sad no one cared enough about Calista to intervene at that point. I can't say I'm surprised in the least, though. The Hollywood culture promotes thinness and beauty at almost any cost, and I doubt anyone wanted to be the hypocrite who tried telling a beautiful, popular actress that getting thinner wasn't a good thing. It is difficult to take any sort of stand against eating disorders, because so much of Western media and culture perpetuates all that.
The frustrating thing for me is I remember seeing that picture when I was at the height of my eating disorder, and being jealous.
