eating disorders

“Eating Disorders Awareness Week” does not tackle the underlying cause and instead has simply amounted to five days of flyer-induced self-loathing.

Barnard College is currently hosting both the faculty-led Eating Disorders Awareness Week and the student-led Love Your Body Week, each designed to educate students about the dangers of eating disorders. The students and administrators who organized these events should be commended for keeping eating disorders in the public eye, with the hope that they will work together more closely in the future.

Today marks the beginning of either Love Your Body Week or Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2008 at Barnard College, depending on who you ask.
