Dr. John Sharry:

Eating disorders are a serious problem but so also is obesity, although it is not approached with the same seriousness. It is a much more prevalent problem. More than one in four children is in danger of being obese. I will refer to Dr. Keating for the exact statistics. Perhaps 1% or 2% are at risk of having an eating disorder. We need to get the scale right.

Prohibition does not work. I think Deputy Tom Neville had a very good childhood if he saw fizzy drinks just as a treat.
