124. How the ED People Are Pushing the Masses Away

Understanding Disordered Eating

Has the eating disorder community pushed the envelope a little too far?

It's a nuanced conversation, one that doesn't lend itself to easy answers. As we endorse concepts like health at every size, intuitive eating, and body love, are we inadvertently alienating those who need our message the most?

At the core of it all lies a fundamental question: How did we get here, and what can we do to prevent further suffering?
