We all know kids who won’t eat their vegetables. But what about when that finicky eating carries on into adulthood? Is it just a matter of personal taste – or an actual eating disorder that needs treatment? CBS 2′s Mary Kay Kleist reports that researchers are launching a new national finicky eating registry to find out.

The recent U.S. Senate decision to pass a resolution naming September as “National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month,” gives this former fat kid much reason to pause and question. Hailed by many as a significant step forward, there are many out there who have good reason for concern. As I and any other person who has lived childhood as a fat person knows, being singled out and made to feel bad about oneself, erodes self-esteem and promotes inner criticism — two ingredients that harm far more than they could ever help.

“Lonely, lost, broken, ashamed, hopeless, desolate, driven, and cursed”, “not recognised”, “Macho failure”, “scaredy little boy afraid of fry-ups” and “freakish”, suffering in silence, shameful, “Under-represented, under-researched and under-supported”, “forgotten”, “stigma”, “unheard of”, “overlooked”… those are just some of the responses I recieved from Twitterers and Facebookers when I asked the question ‘What do you think of first when considering males with Eating Disorders’. The answers are mixed; some are from males, some females; some with experience of Eating Disorders and some without. I really wish (and most likely sometime soon will) to spend more time researching the general public’s opinion of Eating Disorders in males, to further explore the stereotypes that exist and to try and tackle some of those. The response I got will no doubt be scewed, as many who replied know me and therefore (because I never keep my mouth shut about all things Eating Disorder-ey), will know more than the average person about the truths behind the myths – but even taking that into consideration, I found that there is a certain uneasiness when faced with males with eating Disorders.

Join the Southern California Chapters of iaedp as we come together to celebrate and honor National Eating Disorder Awareness Week through Art, Music, Entertainment and Special Guest Appearances.
Featuring the Real Beauty Campaign
The Southern California Chapters of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp) have all come together to explore a “Real Beauty Campaign.” We are very excited to share a personal vision of authentic beauty created by you. We will be challenging the current media belief of what is beautiful by showing an art exhibit that represents real beauty both inside and out. This exhibit was created to combat the unrealistic and often dangerous ideal of weight, size, shape and beauty dependence that today’s media and fashion industry has pressed upon us. Frightening statistics have surfaced demonstrating the social repercussions of this media’s influence. Eating Disorders, low self/body esteem, as well as alcohol and drug addictions continue to be on the rise among our youth. In light of this, we are hoping you will join in our Real Beauty Campaign Art Exhibit to honor and celebrate National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. This exhibit will include voices and interpretations of authentic beauty from preschoolers through our senior population.
