PATIENTS WITH eating disorders are like canaries in the mines warning of some of the ills of Western society. In broader society, we have lost our way with eating. There are mixed messages on desirable weight and eating. We fret about obesity. No wonder a young person with little sense of self-worth stumbles into dieting and develops an eating disorder.
