We find eating disorders bizarrely funny since we can't imagine ever depriving ourselves of food. Apparently, so does the creator/director of the new FX show Starved which premieres tonight at 10 PM.

Starved chronicles the lives of four thirty-something friends who reside in Brooklyn and are battling various eating disorders.

Eric Schaeffer's character, Sam, is a neurotic, commitment-phobic commodities broker who is recovering from compulsive overeating. If you don't identify with that character, how about "Adam" an active bulimic and stubborn NYPD cop. Or "Dan" who is an overweight, compulsive over-eater who works as a writer. Then there's "Billie," a bisexual recovering anorexic/bulimic and an aspiring singer/songwriter.

The show sounds funny, but we do have a major ax to grind with the people in charge. Studies show that men account for 16% of eating disorder cases. Based on our calculations, that means women make up the remaining 84% of the cases. Why is it then that the show's primary cast is 75% men?
