Ms. Hodge, I'm sorry, but may I just interrupt for a second. I have very limited time and I want very dearly to have you and Ms. Preskow submit any additional information that you have for us. I would like to address these questions to you, and please feel free to write to the committee, because we will include that testimony.
I want to spend my time, just because we have very little of it, asking some additional questions, if that's okay with you. I absolutely agree with you that we need to do more with the media, etc., but that's such a vague notion. I think the reason we are successful with cigarette smoking is that we had cigarette companies to work with and to target, etc. The media is this big vague thing out there.
Ms. Preskow, you said you do not come from an obese family, so you never talked about dieting. You have to ask, where did Amy get these concepts? How did that turn into her eating disorder? What is the link between media and our society? How then did it become a disorder for her?
I think that given how huge this issue is, 500,000 people, and the fact that it's so hidden, we have to ask ourselves these bigger questions. Obviously, it has a huge impact not just on families such as yours, Ms. Preskow, but also on society in that we've lost so much from these people who can contribute.
Please give us those answers.
Thank you very much.
