University of Kentucky Helps Spread Eating Disorder Awareness
March 1st, 2010
Noting the prevalence of weight loss programs and advertisements in modern media, organizers of awareness-raising events at the University of Kentucky suggested that more information about the impact of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia should be distributed throughout the population. This information can be particularly critical for women in college, the organizers report, as the specific pressures of the collegiate environment can lead to unhealthy eating and behavioral choices. Other universities and groups touched upon how eating disorders affect men and other age groups, all while taking part in National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

College campuses are such a hotbed for eating disorders this seems like a great program for the to support and endorse.
I think it is a great move to target the college-goers with this program because it is generally such young people who think that staying fit and lean means not to eat enough.It is a very wrong concept and is bound to land the followers into health hazards,as mentioned in the post here.
