Discussing Eating Disorders

DISCUSSES EATING DISORDERS — Merry Brown (C), writer, speaker, mediator, and philosopher, was the guest at the November 3 meeting of the Martin Kiwanis Club. Brown is pictured with Sara Sieber (L to R), who introduced her for the presentation, and Bill Austin, Kiwanis vice president, who presented a certificate stating that a donation is being made in her honor to Martin Public Library. Brown, a Martin resident, highlighted points made in her book, “The Food Addict: Recovering from Binge Eating Disorder and Making Peace with Food,” which was published in September of this year and is available from MerryBrownBooks.com. She explains the book is — as noted on the cover — “part memoir with equal parts encouragement, social commentary, and a guide to tackling the obesity epidemic with compassion and dignity.”[/caption]
