Reading
Read the following text and answer the question. The text is about eating
Disorders Awareness.

Usually when you read an article about anorexia and bulimia it's pretty
depressing. There are stats about how many people have the disease, how many
people don't report it, how many new cases there are, how many girls (and boys too)
worry about their weight, how much power the media has on body image...whew!
This article is going to be a bit different.
The image above covers most of the prevalent numbers in the eating disorder
realm. Not too many people are completely in the dark about Eating Disorders (ED)
anymore. In the last 20 years the amount of information and awareness of ED has
improved to the point where almost everyone, in the western world, has heard of
Anorexia and Bulimia (and their lesser recognized cousins, Binge Eating and
Excessive Exercise).
Most often articles on ED focus on these numbers. The ones in the image.
The devastating reach of the disease. We feel that there are far too few articles,
movies and Facebook pages that focus on recovery and optimism.
The film, No Numbers - Identity Beyond Measure, acknowledges these
people in a way that no other film has. It examines the reasons why so many young
people find themselves struggling with an eating disorder but it goes far beyond that
to examine the roads to recovery.
As much as we would love this film to help people to learn to love
themselves the way they are, we are targeting those people that are suffering now.
Some are doing it alone, with no support and no treatment. Some likely believe that
they are successful at meeting society’s expectations.

We want them to see that they do not have to live up to some randomly,
media-driven model of perfection. We want to show them how "perfect" comes in a
million packages and that finding their way starts with that first step, the step towards
self-acceptance.
February is Eating Disorder Awareness Month all over North America and
the UK. Throughout the month our goal is to have the film No Numbers - Identity
Beyond Measure screened in as many places as possible.
