1. Since I’m emphasizing the material on obesity and eating disorders for this chapter, read these three articles and comment/give an opinion on this situation.

2. After reading through the updated disorder on Binge Eating, do you believe this is truly a disorder or a lifestyle choice? Think this one through carefully; there are many sides and debates going on in this country now referring to obesity being a disease.

3. Have you ever known anyone who had any eating disorders; if so, what did they experience, what did you observe, and was any treatment successful in helping the person? [No names, if anyone in the class has been through this, you can refer to ‘you’ as another person.
