Haven't ever seen Intervention, but I did rent "Thin" back when I was on Netflix. It was just so sad to watch. I know there are so many issues these girls (and guys too since there are male anorexics and bulimics) are dealing with and that it's not "just" about food. Seriously made me wish I'd majored in psychology so I could try to help.
