They hide their extreme eating habits. They hide the groceries, the food and the empty packaging. They have tried every diet but every time it ends in failure. And for every pound lost there are more gained. Nobody sees it and very few knows about the phenomena, but 40.000-50.000 Danish people are suffering from binge eating disorder (BED). An eating disorder that is not accepted in the European health system (ICD-10) even though it is the most widespread.
