I recently looked at various charts and numbers comparing the mortality rates and prevalence of eating disorders between countries. The United States shows numbers rivaled only by one other country on this planet. America makes up roughly 36% of all eating disorder related deaths, and roughly 8 million citizens suffer from this affliction. This is simply unacceptable.
Something is clearly dysfunctional in our society to promote and allow this to continue in our country (the currently #1 eating disordered nation). As I have shown before, the media is absolutely saturated with dietary pollution and ideals that promote unhealthy self-images.
This harmful trend needs to be stopped.
