What are the ways that eating disorders affect society at large?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to blame, but...: In a way, any behavior disorder is a drag on society. Which society? How severe a disorder? Subsets in america seem to have phases when a focus on physical attributes is raised to an extreme and the natural act of eating becomes distorted to serve purposes beyond nutrition. The wasted energy/productivity of people involved in unnecessary suffering could be put to better use, don't you think?
