70 percent of high school boys have dieted to lose weight

Given the amount of overweight people in the US, often because of parents who never teach their kids to eat anything other than junk food - good!

Eating disorders on the rise among men and boys

Not News:

but less likely to be recognized and properly treated.

Has any other society ever left boys to fend for themselves so much, yet demanded they magically transmorgrify into men (and need them) so desperately?

Ever look at those on the wrestling team? They have severe eating porblems.

On a side note, my best friend had an eating disorder. He was an anorexic. It was the time I was entering high school, by the end of the year he was in a downward spiral. I only wish I had the strength at that age to step in. He is fine now, but as eating disorders go, he has to be careful.
