Horrific. Please sign to voice your objection to this harmful research that puts teenagers on starvation level diets. Diet culture and the fetishization of thinness is reaching a new level of sanctioned violence here. "Starving teenagers is much more likely to result in them developing deadly eating disorders rather than becoming thinner or healthier. There is overwhelming research evidence that points to dieting being the NUMBER ONE risk factor for developing an eating disorder. And the riskiest time for humans to diet is adolescence."

Thank you Max & Cecilia for sharing.
