 Our MissionThe Eating Disorder Foundation of Orange County is dedicated to the awareness and prevention of eating disorders
through education in our local schools, businesses, and sports organizations. We provide our community with honest and accurate eating disorder information accessible to all
residents of Orange County.
We offer individuals struggling with eating disorders and their families the opportunity to meet with others who are suffering through this devastating illness and get the added support that is so desperately needed during recovery. We encourage interested individuals and groups to join together and form a strong voice that seeks to find a cure for eating disorders. Our primary goal is to reach out to our children and educate them on the realities of eating disorders before an eating disorder develops. Special Focus: AthletesWe provide education, counseling referrals, and presentations to individual athletes as well as teams.
Of special research and focus are those individuals who engage in the following sports (but not limited to): gymnastics, figure skating, dance, cheer, running, and/or any media focused profession such as modeling or acting. |

Feel free to write a bit about why you like the recipe, where it came from, etc. Please do not include any calories, fat grams, etc. We are trying to promote "Healthy, balanced, and mindful eating," not any type of "diet." Please send the recipe and any notes to nicole@edfoc.org or fax (949) 488-2418. We cannot promise that we will use all the recipes sent, but we'll make every effort to include those best suited for this project. Feel free to email Nicole with any suggestions.
