Sam: Men Have Eating Disorders, Too

On his Facebook page, Sam Taylor writes of his own struggle with an eating disorder: “I’ve never really shared this with most people, but I basically ended up with an eating disorder my freshman year of high school after wrestling. I was out of school for more than two weeks and in the hospital E.R. Young girls aren’t the only one affected by this, and it’s serious business. Body image, also, isn’t the …only reason this can happen. But if you have kids, know the signs. Today’s media landscape can be a confusing one for children who are fed cultural mores that say to be healthy is to be rail-thin and the way to get there is to starve yourself.”

Question: Any other men out there who have had an eating disorder?
