Oprah's New Network to Shine Spotlight on Eating Disorders

The Oprah Winfrey Network will debut in January, and a new show – Inside Rehab – will bring coverage of eating disorder treatment to the prime-time schedule.

“Over the course of eight episodes, the docu-series will offer a ‘rare look inside an eating disorder treatment facility where patients face their demons and struggle to come to terms with what’s behind the food.’” [Source: Hollywood Insider]

The show’s chief creative officer, Lisa Erspamer, said the show offers hope and perspective not only to people struggling with eating disorders, but to their friends and family as well.

I love Oprah and will definitely watch this, provided my cable network has OWN. However, I always go into these programs with a skeptical eye. I hope it's more like "Intervention" - serious and respectful - rather than some of the carnival barker type shows that are out there ("Come see the freaks with eating disorders!").
