A growing problem: children with eating disorders Anorexia. Bulimia. Compulsive overeating. These potentially fatal eating disorders, long associated with teenagers and young women, are now increasingly affecting younger and younger children -- some as young as eight or nine. In the first book to speak directly to preteens and their parents about this dangerous topic, noted author Janet Bode describes symptoms, possible causes, and ways to deal with these illnesses. Food Fight includes many first-person interviews with children who suffer from these disorders, as well as their parents, doctors, and other experts. This is a comprehensive resource guide, providing invaluable information that may help families survive what often seems like an impossible situation.
