YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your support of our petition to ask TikTok to put in place greater restrictions on its weight loss videosand to prevent children under the age of 18 from viewing or posting under any hashtag related to weight loss or dieting.To date we have 2,050 signatures!!

While on TikTok, children are watching videos promoting dieting and weight loss and then engaging in unhealthy behaviors, such as skipping meals, using fad diets, consuming home-made weight loss concoctions, drinking diet teas or engaging in excessive exercising.

Children, and many adults, are not aware of the health risks associated with these actions. Dietary supplements, like teas and powders, are associated with serious health risks and side effects including organ failure, testicular cancer, heart attack, stroke and even death.

The Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association (MEDA) (www.medainc.org is one of the oldest national nonprofit organizations dedicated to the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. We provide services to individuals and their families struggling with eating disorders and programs that promote body positivity.

We rely on generous individuals like you to help us raise awareness about this devastating illness. Every 62 minutes someone will die as a direct result of their eating disorder. Please consider joining us with this grass root effort for change by signing up for our mailing list and by making a small gift. Every dollar helps!! Give TODAY at
