Quotes to ponder:
"Dieting is the most important predictor of the development of new eating disorders, increasing the risk of these mental illnesses."
"Nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and rules around food do not take a person’s (or child’s) individual needs into account."
"We live in a world that is extremely harsh toward people who live in larger bodies, especially kids."
