Did parts of the book make you uncomfortable?

In the novel, The Edible Woman some parts make me uncomfortable. The part in the novel when Marian realizes she is unable to consume foods makes my uncomfortable because it that is a sign of depression. She becomes unhappy with herself due to her boyfriend Peter, and then she stops eating everything. First she could not eat meat, which was fine because I figured she had become a vegetarian. However, it came to the fact that even looking at any food made her feel sick. So she would only take vitamin pills when she was feeling hungry. This is very unhealthy and could easily kill a person, which made me uncomfortable. I also thought about the fact that a man did this to her, no man should make a woman change so drastically. I also felt uncomfortable when Ainsley, Marian's roommate, decides she wants to have a baby but without a husband. She creates a plan to become pregnant, and then just have the baby by herself. I think that parenting is very important, in both mother and father roles. She uses a man named Len, who is a close friend to Marian, and lies to him. Ainsley does not think about Len's feelings, and when he finds out she is pregnant with his child he becomes furious, "I don't want any son at all! I didn't want it, you did it yourself, you should have it remove..."(pg.249).
