The Next (Supposed) Crisis Facing Adolescents:...
Media images of men and women have become increasingly muscular (see any number of ‘Fitspo’ images on Tumblr), and muscle-enhancing techniques are available to youth.

Snack or Meal: Losing Weight Through Psychological...
How we think about the food we eat is an important component in the multi-faceted problem that is obesity. Believe it or not, categorizing a food as a ‘snack’ or a ‘meal’ affects food consumption.
