This article mentions a bunch of things which I am sure have had an impact on the rise of eating disorders, but one thing it does not mention is the catastrophic decision to put calorie amounts on menus in pubs and restaurants.

A sad but deeply familiar story. So many of my teenage clients talk to me about and . NHS support is virtually non-existent/v limited and clients often face huge misunderstanding from those around them. We need to do much better.

Research into tends to exclude older people. Researchers looking to study interventions tend to recruit participants from social media or from clinics – meaning older adults are largely ignored. Consequently, guidelines for interventions are based on evidence for what works in a younger cohort. theconversation.com/older-peop

: "The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) has taken its chatbot called Tessa offline, two days before it was set to replace human associates who ran the organization’s hotline.

After NEDA workers decided to unionize in early May, executives announced that on June 1, it would be ending the helpline after twenty years and instead positioning its wellness chatbot Tessa as the main support system available through NEDA. A helpline worker described the move as union busting, and the union representing the fired workers said that "a chatbot is no substitute for human empathy, and we believe this decision will cause irreparable harm to the eating disorders community."

As of Tuesday, Tessa was taken down by the organization following a viral social media post displaying how the chatbot encouraged unhealthy eating habits rather than helping someone with an eating disorder."
