Medical symposium on eating disorders I've just arrived at a medical symposium in south Texas being held for virtually every branch of medicine.  The topic today is eating disorders, compared to opiate abuse, which is what they normally do.  I'm wondering if they're going to present actual medical information or more touchy feely nonsense stating that it's not the person's fault they're fat due to genetics and socioeconomic factors... lies, excuses, blah, blah, blah. Place your bets now on what they're going to tell us.  I'll update you after the 8 hour symposium is over.
