Eating Disorder

A report by MPs has called for the Body Mass Index measure to be scrapped due to concerns it contributes to eating disorders.

An ITV News investigation found dozens of videos of mostly teenage girls sharing how they limit their daily calorie intake, discussing weight loss pills, expressing delight at their thin limbs and sharing dark jokes about their mental illness.

Eating disorder charities said they were disappointed they were not consulted by the government about the campaign.
