Weight worries rise in boys, especially minorities

Ah, the value of handwringing.

"Past studies have consistently shown that young black women appear more resistant to eating disorders than young white women are. The current findings, reported in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, suggest that this pattern is holding firm.

In contrast, the study found, black and Hispanic boys were more likely to take weight-control measures than white boys were.

What's more, boys of all races seemed to be developing more and more concern about body weight over time. Over the decade-long study, increasing percentages of boys were trying various ways to shed pounds, including using diet products and purging."

Worrying never solved a single problem.

More of the same.
