Why everyday conversation can influence anorexia
'We talk non-stop about how many chocolate bars we eat, how much fat we eat, how many times we go jogging, how many portions of fruit and vegetables we are eating every day. Very vulnerable children, the ones who are already obsessive types, are hooked into it at an earlier and earlier age.'
Dr Dee Dawson, medical director of Rhodes Farm Clinic, London
