Although there is no definitive clinical definition for disordered eating, this term is often used among the eating disorder treatment community to describe various abnormal eating behaviors that do not yet fit the criteria for an eating disorder. Some believe that disordered eating, if not treated, can lead to eating disorders; however, not every individual with a disordered eating pattern will develop a clinical eating disorder. Disordered eating occurs when individuals eat for other reasons than hunger and nourishment. Individuals with disordered eating eat when they are bored, eat out of stress, eat to cover up their emotions, skip meals, engage in binging and purging behaviors on an irregular or limited basis, may skip out on major food groups, or eat the same thing every day.

Societal reproduction is a combination of the organization of production, the organization of social reproduction, the perpetuation of gender, and the continuation of class relations. Social reproduction includes the care and socialization of children and care of the elderly or infirm. Social reproduction includes the organization of sexuality, biological reproduction, and how food, clothing, and shelter are made available. Most social reproduction occurs within the family unit. It is pointed out that variations in the distribution of the work of social reproduction are affected by the family, market, community, and state.

CONT

La notion de reproduction sociale traduit l'idée selon laquelle toute société se reproduit ; c'est une évidence au niveau démographique, ça l'est aussi en ce qui concerne ses structures, même si la reproduction ne se fait pas toujours à l'identique. Très tôt, les premiers sociologues (Auguste Comte, Émile Durkheim, Herbert Spencer) ont emprunté aux sciences de la nature, en particulier à la biologie, leur conception de la société ; celle-ci est alors pensée comme un organisme vivant, qui doit assurer sa reproduction. Dans cette perspective, qui débouche sur ce qu'on a appelé le fonctionnalisme, c'est un ordre social, un mode d'intégration, qu'il s'agit de reproduire. À la même période, Karl Marx donne une acception plus strictement sociologique à ce concept de reproduction, en soulignant que ce sont des rapports sociaux, des situations conflictuelles, qui se trouvent reproduits.
