Beauty and pain: Body image and eating disorders happen everywhere, including BYU

Looking back, it might have helped Rogers to know that her goal was based on myth: A new study reveals that while the "Freshman 15" — the supposed average weight gain for new college students — has been widely accepted as fact for years, it is actually little more than an alliterative legend. Freshmen on average actually gain between 2 and 4 pounds over the course of the year, according to the study, released this month in the academic journal Social Science Quarterly.

In Rogers' case, it was her dysmorphic disorder, or the fixation on her own imaginary physical flaws, that made her see what she saw in the mirror, and told her to eat no more than 300 calories a day. All summer, Rogers (whose name has been changed) never strayed far from a scale. She weighed herself all day long.

College-age women across the country are one of the most at-risk groups when it comes to negative body-image issues and eating disorders. This is a decades-long issue. The question is why, after all these years, it continues to vex young women — and perhaps more importantly, what's being done about it.

This is a third time BYU has taken initial place in a 4 years they have entered a competition. The group kick out connoisseur and Ph.D. dairy scholarship students to win a $10,000 grand prize.

Cheese Squared was grown by a BYU product growth team. It is cream cheese encased in Swiss cheese that is easily breaded and flash-fried.

“It’s a lot of hearing and error,” pronounced Mike Dunn, highbrow of food science. “It’s not magic, we usually get on a bench, we make something, it’s a sum disaster that didn’t work so we try something else....
