Over 80% of young people know another young person who has an eating disorder. 25% of our youth is obese. Could these two seemingly different issues be, in effect, two sides of the same coin? Professor Susan Sawyer addresses the challenges around eating rooted in body dissatisfaction, how to promote a healthier approach to food and how these questions form part of wider, damaging social trends.
