Diet culture is prevalent in society and especially all over social media. Diet culture and eating disorders are directly connected and it needs to be talked about. Eating disorders can take a huge toll on a persons life. They affect your mental AND physical health. Even people without eating disorders participate in disordered eating habits and a disordered mindset without even realizing it because of diet culture. It is incredibly damaging and affects more people than you'd think. I see people around me engage in this kind of behavior and its concerning and can easily turn into something disastrous. Eating disorders also affect a lot of teenage girls a demographic I am apart of and I see this in my day to day life. When you say the word eating disorder around people they think of all of these stereotypes of what a person with an eating disorder looks like or behaves like and I think it is important to spread awareness and clarify it. I would also like to prevent people from engaging in any sort of disordered eating and show all the dark sides of it because there are so many.

This source provides us bar graphs and tables on eating disorder prevalence and how common it is for people with eating disorders to have other mental illnesses. In the first bar graph titled "Past Year Prevalence Of Binge - Eating Disorder Among U.S. Adults (2001-2003)" we see that

"Prevalence of bulimia nervosa was five times higher among females (0.5%) than males (0.1%)"

People from the ages of 18-29 and 45-59 are more likely to suffer from bulimia than those 30-34 and those 60 or older.

In the next bar graph "Life Time Prevalence of Eating Disorders Among U.S. Adolescents (2001-2004)" You can see that eating disorders were more than twice as likely to affect females than males, and as people grow older they are more likely to suffer from an eating disorder.

This source gives us only one set of data which is shown on a line plot and bar graph. But the data ranges over a much longer period of time and a wider age range. It includes information on the prevalence of eating disorders by age over the different years. The most recent year this data was recorded is 2017 and it shows that 30-34 year olds are most likely to have an eating disorder. After 30-34 year olds are 20-29 year olds and then 15-19 year olds.

Source 1 is a great source that goes extremely in depth to everything relating to eating disorders. It is mostly text since it is a book but it still gives us visual statistics like bar graphs, pie charts, drawings etc. It gives quality information and based on facts only. It was overall very specific and a quality source.

Source 2 is another really great source. It is a government source and provided multiple bar graphs and tables. It also provided analysis of the data in short and concise bullet points. It was specific to the particular eating disorder I looked at. It provided a definition of what the eating disorders were. The entire website also provides resources for other mental illnesses and more statistics. It is very easy to navigate aswell.

Source 3 is the least informational source of the three I analyzed. There was only one set on information although it did give data for a long period of time. There was also no analysis of the data listed just the graph. The table was also a bit confusing and the website was harder to navigate than the others.

This source has no evidence or statistics to backup their claim that diet culture isn't that bad and isn't very harmful. It is opinion based. It just says anti diet culture posts are rooted in hate when in reality they are trying to combat bad body image especially in teens and eating disorders.

No evidence or statistics were used it was opinion based. Still made no valid points against the argument. Not an official source but a blog. I couldn't find anything other than this blog as a counter argument because it isn't something you can argue against especially with statistics.
