As fish must swim so must man drink and eat Titus Petronius Arbiter
Examine thy customs of diet Francis Bacon For John eat & drank
to drive away Loves pain But all he could do he grew thinner &
thinner Tho he eat & drank as much as Ten men for dinner Some
said he had a Wolf in his stomach day and night William Blake To
paraphrase and cast in contemporary speech observations of the
Gothic-era monk Bernard of Clairvaux, the eating disorders may be
viewed as a corruption of the social process, a distortion of the
body image, and a perversion of bodily processes. It is this
multifactorial etiology that makes the diagnosis and treatment of
dietary -disorders so difficult and frustrating. Because of social
demands and a distorted (body) image, men and women have perverted
the simple act of eating into always painful, sometimes tragic, and
occasionally deadly outcomes. The eating disorders fall into three
categories. There is obesity-the overconsumption of food, and its
antithesis, anorexia-the act of vol untary starvation. In true
Hegelian fashion, there follows the synthesis, bulimia-the
voluntary purging of overconsumed amounts of food to produce an
anorectic-like countenance. As the contributing authors em phasize
in their chapters, these diseases are not unique to contemporary
culture. Rather they are cultural artifacts, created by both men
and women, since classical antiquity. The recognition of these
diseases is dependent upon recognizing a disease actually exists:
that there is a distortion of the eating process."
