The EATING DISORDERS section of Fashtastic was compiled August 2005 - May 2006 as a final
project in school. The information is still accurate and up-to-date. Eating

Please take some time to read articles, personal stories and essays regarding
this issue. It is important that we all become aware of this problem in order to
help others that are suffering and to save ourselves from developing an eating
disorder.
