What's Eating Us: Women, Food, and the Epidemic of Body Anxiety by Cole Kazdin
DNF. Decided to put it down at about 50%.
I would highly recommend this title for those interested in eating disorders and recovery, as well as those interested in statistics on eating disorders, diets, health care disparities, and related myths.
I couldn’t relate to the author’s experience with bulimia, which is a heavy focus in the book. I wish there was an indication that bulimia is a large part of the narrative here. That being said, the stories she shares about bulimia and recovery are enlightening and important.
What's Eating Us is well researched. I especially appreciate the link between eating disorders and mental illness, and how it can affect recovery. There’s a lot of great information here, so I hope I'm not being offensive stating that if you are looking for more general information, you'll need to skim for the more broad gems here.
