Today’s teenage girls aren’t allowing themselves the joy of snack time – or any meal – at all. A report from the UK’s Independent Online showed that over “a third of 13 to 18-year-old girls” polled for a study indicated they had been on a diet or were currently dieting, and “45 per cent [ate] less than 1,200 calories per day”, which is below the healthy amount for growing women.

  • Well, we are either accused of being an obese society or an emaciated society.
    We can't win.
    If you want to live your life fat then be fat and if you don't want to enjoy snacks and meals then that seems ok too.
    Weight issues seem like luxury mental problems.

  • You clearly haven't known anyone with an eating disorder, it isn't a "luxury mental problem" it is a serious disorder that can easily turn fatal--there is a root societal problem as to why we are either obese or emaciated so we should be looking at that and not writing these people off and telling them to either eat or stop eating.
