This news is quite alarming! The media, parents and peers are influential why there is a rise of eating disorders in young children. Parents should be a good example to their children. But the reality is, they are not. What with the constant dieting. And the media is worse. Portraying that thin people are beautiful inculcates in the minds of young children that they should be that also. Measures should be done to stop the increase of eating disorders in children.
