What's Eating Us: Women, Food, and the Epidemic of Body Anxiety by Cole Kazdin

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

What's Eating Us is a great book about eating disorders, and how so many areas of modern life affect and may create the conditions for an eating disorder to form. My one critique is the longer chapter on fertility; while I appreciate the difficulty child-bearing can be because of having an eating disorder, I felt it went too far into IVF and struggles there, without always linking it back to the ED. I think this book would be a great resource for anyone who has an issue with food, body image, or has or is in recovery from an eating disorder. It didn't get too bogged down in science, but was well-researched and thorough.
