Eating Disorders: About More Than Food.” National Institute of Mental Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
In 2018, “Eating Disorders: About More Than Food”, The National Institute of Mental Health, a national medical research agency, informs us of the risk, types, and symptoms of many eating disorders including anorexia and bulimia. The research agency supports their claim by providing statics which indicate that “people with anorexia nervosa avoid food’ (NMIH). In addition, the National Institute of Mental Health includes information about bulimia nervosa, stating “[people with this disorder eat unusually large amounts of food] this binge eating is followed by behaviors that compensate the over eating, such as forced vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise, or a combination of these behaviors” (NMIH). Followed by informing readers of the risks of both disorders, “extreme thinness, intense fear of gaining weight,chronically inflamed and sore throat, and severe dehydration from purging” (NMIH). The National Institute of Mental Health aims to inform the audience of the gruesome causes and effects of eating disorders and offers insight to the long term and short term results. The audience consists of those who are interested in learning about eating disorders; the tone is unemotional and illuminating.

In 2018, Mayo Clinic, a website in which over 33,000 physicians share their research on anorexia nervosa, informing everyone that, “Anorexia (an-o-REK-see-uh) nervosa — often simply called anorexia — is an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of weight. People with anorexia place a high value on controlling their weight and shape, using extreme efforts that tend to significantly interfere with their lives.” (Mayo Clinic). In addition, the clinic says that many causes stem from modern day media, “Modern Western culture emphasizes thinness. Success and worth are often equated with being thin. Peer pressure may help fuel the desire to be thin, particularly among young girls.”(Mayo Clinic). Finally, they close their entry by saying, “There's no guaranteed way to prevent anorexia nervosa. Primary care physicians (pediatricians, family physicians and internists) may be in a good position to identify early indicators of anorexia and prevent the development of full-blown illness.” (Mayo Clinic). Mayo Clinic has an audience of older people; the tone is informative and helpful.
