In this week's Healthier Together, we delve into the alarming effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence of eating disorders across America. FOX13
From spring 2020 through spring 2021, there was a significant increase in eating disorder cases, with inpatient admissions doubling during this period. Additionally, the MIT National Eating Disorder Association helpline reported a 40% surge in calls over the course of the year.
The pandemic has undeniably impacted this vulnerable population, wreaking havoc on an industry that is already struggling to provide adequate support. The rise in eating disorders can be attributed to various factors, including heightened social isolation, disruption of daily routines, and, perhaps most significantly, an increased sense of loss of control—a crucial aspect as individuals with eating disorders often seek control over their lives through food intake.
The economic ramifications of eating disorders are significant, with the total cost in the US reaching a staggering $16.7 billion in 2019.

From there, all ails in the political world follow -- and that leads to plenty of scandals, corruption, wickedness and outright evil that is being passed as the new normal.
