Comments based on appearance can be a trigger for eating disorder diseases that are increasingly common in Austalia.


A new campaign seeks to tackle the problem of comments based on appearance that can be a trigger for eating disorders.

Eating disorders are triggered by a number of factors, including growing up in the diet culture prevalent in the 90s, and the impact of comments based on appearance.

In Australia, more than one million people suffer from the disease.

Issues surrounding body image are evident in stigma and stereotypes across different cultures in Australia.
