Beating eating disorders
Only one per cent of young people affected by eating disorders feel they can talk to parents about their concerns, according to a new survey by Beat, the eating disorders association. 92 per cent couldn't tell anyone they had a problem, it found. This week is eating disorders awareness week and Beat launched a report Something's got to change including facts, figures and a manifesto to tackle the issue. Worth reading and a sensible addition to the often fatuous skinny models/size zero debate.
