Prevention

"Eating disorders are serious and potentially life-threatening disorders that affect millions of adolescents and adults. The complexity of these disorders belies a simple answer to the difficult question of prevention. However, we do know that society starts with you. With everyone working towards learning to better respect and care for themselves, admiring the diversity of others, and working to create a cooperative and noncompetitive environment, we feel that the seeds we plant can only grow and that the results will benefit us all. The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation."
~ Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
