Still not alarmed
Oh my god, healthyskeptic, take a breath.
Having said that, whether or not these findings are accurate, I am skeptical that they represent "disordered eating." Do women have to be emotionally in tune with every morsel of food (but not too in tune! don't want to look obsessed!) they consume in order to be ordered? Perhaps these symptoms are just part of the everyday business of navigating too much food and food-related literature, not enough time, opposing cultural forces, and looking good. I doubt men's relationship with food would look very different, though some of the "symptoms" might.
