Why We Need the Eating Disorders Prevention Act 2020

Updated: Feb 19, 2023


October 2, 2021. There are few policies supporting the prevention of eating disorders. In this post I rely on scientific research to support my argument that eating disorder prevention in childhood is vital for future health.


Key Points:


  • The foundations for eating disorder development begin before adolescence.


  • Childhood obesity prevention gets more funding than eating disorder prevention.


  • If implemented, the Eating Disorders Prevention Act would educate children about eating disorders and offer screeners.
