Thank you again to both of you for coming today.
I want to really thank you, Ms. Preskow, for your final couple of comments. You've sort of encapsulated my questioning.
Obviously we are decades behind here. We heard in earlier testimony by Dr. Katzman that the prevalence of eating disorders in Canada is about 1.5% of our population, which therefore means we are looking at 525,000 people in Canada. She was saying that 10,000 people have cancer, 25,000 people have diabetes, and as you know, there's a greater awareness and obviously services and programs and all of the things we've been discussing and heard from previous witnesses about.
Some 25 or 26 years ago, Canada was the first country to stand up and enact legislation about second-hand smoke. That has made a huge difference, because right now in television programs, etc., there's not as much prevalence of smoking.
I want to direct my questions to Jarrah Hodge, because I want to look at the greater societal picture, and I'm also a sociologist from UBC.
Given your experience in blogging and what you hear anecdotally from people, what cultural or legislative changes—and you did touch upon that at the tail-end of your testimony—do you think would cause such a change as we have seen, such as in the awareness that we have of cancer now, the reduction of actors smoking on TV, in all kinds of areas? How can we get to that point from where we are now? We are obviously not yet there with eating disorders.
