Your textbook discusses several ways that culture, gender or social, and class factors influence our mental health and behavior.  Choose two of these factors and discuss in detail how they are connected with eating disorders we have been discussing and how they factor into treatment and diagnosis, etc.

Support your answers with data from the textbook and show your reading of the Margaret Cho article.  Also, there is a video in your slides from this chapter about Bulemia in men(embedded in the PP slides).
