Articles on Eating Disorders Eating Disorders and the Media
This is where you can contribute articles on eating disorders ... commentary ... your opinions ... or your reviews on issues related to eating disorders and eating disorder awareness.
The media tends to glorify eating disorders. Unfortunately, this does nothing for disorder eating recovery. In fact, much information on eating disorders and the media can actually make matters worse for those suffering from eating disorders.
One primary goal of the submissions on this page is to expose the media in an effort to get them to understand the impact of their media attention. It is not okay to stalk people with eating disorders in a reality tv show. It does nothing to help those suffering from eating disorders if you are asking tv viewers to vote on your favorite eating disordered person. It is harmful to continue portraying actresses as stick thin and barely show images of average or above-average size people.
