The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions essay found in this book states that eating disorders are a growing threat to public health. Essayist Malcolm Evans presents readers with the opposite view that the threat of eating disorders is distorted. The Royal College of Psychiatrists states that pro-ana websites should be regulated, while essayist Adam Thierer argues they should not be.
