Describe to them the dietary controls that could prevent a child from developing unhealthy adult health behaviors.

Question 2

Ms. Jared has a 16-year-old daughter whom she has suspected for several months may be anorexic. Reinay, her daughter, has always been weight conscious. She exercises daily as a member of the cheerleading squad. She is always on the go and never stops long enough to eat a meal with the family. Reinay has begun to ask her mother to get her particular foods at the grocery, such as lots of vegetables to be eaten raw, some apples, oranges, and bottles of water. She has begun to exercise two times a day and refuses all foods with fats. She is apparently on a fat-free diet. No amount of coaxing from her mother can get her to eat some of the chocolate cookies she loves so much. She is ingesting only raw vegetables, fruit, and water.

What indicators are clues to Reinay's weight-conscious habits?
