I have recently watched your show that aired on Wednesday 11/30/2011. Although I found the segment with Tracey Gold informative. I was disappointed that not once during your interview was it mentioned that men suffer from this disease as well. As a 37 year old male that has suffered with an eating disorder for 17 years I found it offensive that the context was strinctly about women. I know that a much higher percentage of people that suffer with an eating disorder are women I found it disturbing that if a person knew nothing about eating disorders, they could have the preconception that this disorder only happens to women after watching your show. I am currently in a clinic that I am the only male patient. I believe that even though it wasn't intentional your segment on eating disorders did a diservice to those men that our suffering from this disorder.
