The YWCA has released a report called Beauty at Any Cost, which contains a lot of very disturbing information about the health, financial and the obsession with looks are costing the teen girls and women of America.
A discussion guide and non-fiction booklist can be found here.
Here are some recent fiction books on eating disorders, as well:
Looks by Madeleine George
Massive by Julia Bell
Perfect by Natasha Friend
More Than You Can Chew by Marnelle Tokio
Skinny by Ibi Kaslik
Any titles you would add if we were to do an eating disorders list?
