In a crowded session at last year's BlogHer conference in Chicago, I sat next to Jennette Fulda, the famous PastaQueen. I couldn't focus on the panelists or the bizarre audience questions ("I've been blogging for a whole month. Why don't...

As our first wedding anniversary approaches in July and the official summer wedding season kicks off down here in central Florida, I’ve been reflecting back on our wedding last year and looking over the budget spreadsheet to see if there was anything I regretted on it.

Perhaps John Prescott's recent revelation shouldn't have been so surprising; though bulimia was not even recognised as a medical condition just 30 years ago, now over 1 million Britons are known to have an eating disorder. And while bulimia, along with anorexia – which killed the 49-year-old academic Rosemary Pope last month – are eating-disorder stalwarts, there is a whole swathe of...

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to win a jar of McQuade’s Celtic Fig and Ginger chutney from Blake Makes. If you've not been over to visit there yet, you should visit at least once. It isn't a gluten free blog, but it is definitely a foodie one. The task was to [...]

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that my family used the Maudsley approach to help our 14-year-old daughter recover from anorexia. ( Here's a link to the whole story as published in the New York Times Magazine.) In Maudsley, parents take charge of their child's eating while they're in recovery. So it was up to my husband and me to devise meal plans for our daughter. Like most anorexics,...

Tara Parker-Pope's blog about DSM , the psychiatric bible, and ties to Big Pharma, hits on a point of particular interest to anyone who's had experience of an eating disorder. The truth is that there are few if any medications that have been shown to help treat an eating disorder, especially in the acute phase of the illness (and isn't that when you want them to help?). Psychotropic meds do not seem...

A new study was just reported by the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Canada as finding that schools that stop offering sugary sodas and fatty snacks could see significant drops in childhood obesity in just two years — a 33% lower risk for becoming overweight among the students.

At least that's the story making the rounds about Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign, which was praised to the skies by many FA bloggers and others. According to this story , those unretouched photos of beautiful-but-not-"perfect" women may actually have been, you know, retouched. I got a good laugh out of the last line of the story: If only for the excessive amount of self-righteousness that accompanied...
