You're probably right that many people with eating disorders are vegetarian.

From helping out at an eating disorder clinic I'd say it was about evenly matched vege/non-vege.

There were obviously more non-vegetarian patients - but there are more non-veges in the world, so proportionally it was even.

Fair enough. So Ted's argument really doesn't stand up.

I have one thing to say; Soap Nuts !!! (or soapods !) They're brilliant.
When I don't use eco-balls I use soap nuts.
Available from !!!!!! & naturalcollection.com

From naturalcollection website:
Biodegradable Cleaning Grown From a Tree!
Renewable, biodegradable and completely chemical free, these amazing laundry soap nuts are good news for the planet, for allergy sufferers and for your clothes. Great value too, they can be used twice at lower temperatures giving you up to 50 washes per box....

1. Stop Junk mail by writing to the mailing preference folks.
2. Use soap, not those plastic squeezy bottle thingies.
3. Don't use air freshners (dangerous chemicals) open a window.
4. If you've got a garden, wee in a bucket, dilute 1:20 put it on either the garden or undiluted wee on your compost heap. If you can't face that the don't flush after having a wee - it's only wee.
5. Don't buy bottled water.
6. Stop buying so much stuff, buy second hand & give your unwanted stuff to charity.
7. Buy a week's shop & don't waste food - use up everything by sensible planning. Rinse out washing up liquid bottles, shampoo etc - You often get enough out for several more goes.
8. Plan journeys - offer lifts, scrounge lifts, car share - walk.
9. Do you really need the latest mobile - if one at all? Do you need to buy yet another gadget, the latest fashion? Ask yourself questions before buying & if you can do without, don't feel you need it - leave it on the shelf.
10.Use a filled oven, cook more than one thing at a time.

Save money as well as energy. Think before consuming, it is after all a choice.
