Food Fight

Janet Bode

I never realized how many books there are about children and eating disorders until I went looking for them. Among them, Food Fight stands out because it's the only one I've found so far that's actually written for the children, rather than the parents.

Unfortunately, as I am finding seems to be the case with most books of this nature, the author defines "eating disorders" quite narrowly as anorexia and bulimia, only mentioning binge eating disorder in passing a time or two.

Thus, this may well be an excellent book for children with those diseases (and their parents), but for parents of children with other eating disorders, its use will be questionable.
