Abstract

The chapter focuses on eating and nutrition. Graf and Schweiger describe the available evidence on childhood obesity and discuss its negative effects on the health, agency, and self-relations of affected children. They then turn to the family and the state as main agents of justice. At the centre of the second part of the section are eating disorders with a focus on anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, which have many harmful effects on the bodily integrity of children in all its dimensions. They discuss the social embedding of these conditions and address one agent of justice in more detail: the media.
