Food Gone Sour
Food, the source of nourishment, has become the drug of choice for many. It is an acceptable “drug,” because food is needed to survive. When did this source of nourishment turn into such a monster destroying the lives of women, men, teens, and children? It begins as an innocent form of weight control or coping mechanism, which eventually grows into a life threatening way of life. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders states that approximately 8 million people in the United States suffer from anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and other related eating behaviors. They conclude that about 3 out of every 100 people are plagued with the abuse of food in a way that is detrimental to their health (ANRED).Eating disorders are not about the food. The food is used as a numbing agent or a form of control in response to underlying issues. A disorder usually begins with a change in eating patterns for the purpose of coping or weight control, but if one’s not careful, it will usually turn into an eating disorder. Societal messages about the body and weight feed the eating behavior. The messages of eating more, coupled with diets and exercise to get the perfect body, are sending mixed messages.
