Discuss the following questions about eating disorders in 150 words or more:

• Do you think that the current focus on obesity creates more cases of eating disorders? Why or why not?
• Which aspect of media provides the most distorted examples of body image to the public? (List examples.)
• Without using names or revealing relationships, do you know anyone who has an eating disorder?  Has this person received treatment?  If so, what kind?
• What do you think is the best way to approach someone that you believe has an untreated eating disorder:  Do you think you could make a difference in getting them help?
• Include an active link to a source that provides information about eating disorders. Remember, read 10 messages and reply to 3 for full credit. Once you submit your posting you will be able to read and reply to the postings of other students

WHAT I EXPECT:

1. Answer ALL of the questions above.
2. Include an active link to a reliable reference on eating disorders.  A reliable reference is .edu or .org (with the author's credentials and references included in the article)
