Study: Binge eating is No. 1 food disorder in USA

I almost want to say duh..... I was surprised to see the low percentages reported in the article, I would have thought they would be much higher.


BINGE, BY DEFINITION
Binge eating disorder "is quite different from the ordinary munching you might do for the Super Bowl," says Harrison Pope Jr., a researcher who treats people with eating disorders at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass. People who have the disorder "can't stop once they get started even though they feel uncomfortably full."
