Dying to Be Thin

Anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders are on the rise. What can be done to help those who are suffering? (Aired December 12, 2000 on PBS) 

This spring, as we discuss psychological disorders, we will place a higher emphasis on the issue of eating disorders than we have in the previous years. Aside from all other relevant information about eating disorders, my aim is to look at the impact of various cultures and the world that we live in, on what we do and the choices we make. This PBS story is an excellent way for students to start thinking about this issue, and others related.
