Harvard removes calorie info, cites eating disorders - CNN.com


I thought this was an interesting story, especially about Harvard students perhaps being more prone to ED's... Any thoughts?

I doubt very much that Harvard has a greater proportion of eating disorders than most schools. I think they are just more proactive. Eating disorders are rampant in this age group. Harvard students, bright that they are, may be more inclined to use the free counseling services that are offered, so more information may be known about the kinds of problems among their student body. Harvard's mental health care has an excellent reputaion. They are in sync with the nearby McClean Hospital. .
