Eating Disorder Education

As I was doing research for my paper on how media affects body image, I found this.

The ignorance infuriates me.

I'm not sure if this is strictly allowed in this community as it is not so much educational as it is a discussion point. I found it really interesting and am not sure what to make of it. Any views?

Mods feel free to delete if it's not relevant.

What do you guys think of a "recovered" anoretic/bulimic/sufferer from ednos/etc becoming an eating disordered specialist? Do you feel that s/he could help their patients without slipping back into their old disease?

Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

I looked to see if this was in the memories but I didn't find it there, anyway if it was already discussed feel free to delete this post.

I recently came across this website

http://www.fruitarian.com/ay/HowToBecomeFruitarian.htm

and was wondering what you all think of the marvelous benefits of an all-fruit diet. Personally, I feel that it reminds me of those shady ads in the back of 2 dollar magazines. Especially the "you don't need to drink water" part. So anyway, what's your take? Do you think that this could possibly be nutritionally sound?
