National Eating Disorder? Is There Such a Thing?

Childhood Obesity on a dangerous rise.

In today's day and age you hear a lot about our nation's health decline.  It seems that every day you see some news story about McDonald's or some man that died of diabetes related to his weight.  On the flip-side, half the celebrities we praise so much weigh about as much as the keyboard I'm typing on.  The nation's image has become one of a grossly over-weight population and alarmingly under-weight starlights. The term National Eating Disorder refers to Micheal Pollen's Omnivore's Dilemma.  An "Eating Disorder," according to (http://web4health.info/it/ed-dia-ed-def.htm), "is when a person eats, or refuses to eat, in order to satisfy a psychic need and not a physical need."  Unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree that our nation does indeed have a "National Eating Disorder." Everyday it becomes more clear that our country is heading downhill fast.  It is our duty to our children and our country to help our society as much as we can.  Eat healthier and stop supporting these mass produced places like McDonald's.
