Narrator: a shocking 1.1 million people in the UK alone are affected by an eating disorder, also that females are 10 times more likely than males to be affected by an eating disorder and that only 25% of women are happy with their weight. Pressures from the media endorse this as 91% felt it was bad that the media always portray so-called perfect women.


Narrator: Before we take a closer look, at [states names of patients] we decided to go and ask the public a few questions about the subject and see if we can get a few different views
