I have already blogged about the new book edited by Bryan Lask and Ian Frampton with the felicitous title  Eating Disorders and the Brain.  But the other day, flipping through it, I landed on the chapter by Ken Nunn which nearly brought tears to my eyes, it was so powerful, and so right.

The chapter (Chapter 5) is called Neurochemistry: the Fabric of Life and the Fabric of Eating Disorders and Professor Nunn puts forth his Five Propositions.  They are:

Proposition #1: Our bodies and the universe are a single fabric

Proposition #2: The fabric of our daily lives is woven from the food in our environment

Proposition #3: DNA is the golden thread tying it all together

Proposition#4: Genes are the spinning wheels, shuttles, bibs and bobs for the fabric of life

Proposition #5: Neurotransmitters are the words of a chemical conversation

I think that’s incredible. Just incredible.
