Congress finds the following:
(1) An estimated 5,000,000 to 10,000,000
women and girls and 1,000,000 men and boys suffer
from eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa,
bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as well

(2) 42 percent of 1st through 3d grade girls
want to be thinner and that 81 percent of 10-year-
old children are afraid of being fat.
(3) 35 percent of dieters progress to patholog-
ical dieting and that 20 to 25 percent of these indi-
viduals progress to partial or full syndrome eating
disorders.
(4) Eating disorders can lead to death. Accord-
ing to the National Institute of Mental Health, 1 in
10 people with anorexia nervosa will die of starva-
tion, cardiac arrest, or other medical complications.

ation often overlooked and rarely addressed in our
Nation’s schools.

orders are of primary importance to the health, well
being and academic success of our Nation’s stu-
dents.
