Today, Netflix will start streaming To The Bone: a harrowing, funny and ultimately uplifting tale about one young woman’s recovery from anorexia. But does it risk glamourising the illness?

Read this topical article from The Day, and decide for yourself. Some psychologists have warned about triggers and how the film could, “inspire copycat behaviour. Others have argued that it gives a very stereotypical view of an anorexia patient: a young, middle-class white girl who is clearly underweight. The reality is that eating disorders can affect anyone. Of the 1.6 million sufferers in the UK, 11% are male. Many are a “normal” weight, and they come from all backgrounds.” – The Day
