Fung and Stallings (2003), defined nutrition as "The major focus of nutrition research and practice shifted from concern over which foods are required to avoid nutritional deficiencies and overt illness, to what foods and supplements may be consumed to promote optimal health. Functional foods are a part of the vocabulary, and energy bars, herbal remedies, and nutritional supplement products are now widely available."

Eating disorders, as defined by The Gale Encyclopedia of Science (2004), "are psychological conditions that involve either overeating, voluntary starvation, or both."
