This article was created by the production company using the text from the BBC website. However, the text from the BBC website is written by the production company who then supply it to the BBC. Therefore, the text submitted for the article belongs to the production company who were the people that wrote the article. Therefore, it is not a breach of copyright.

I think you need to brush up on your copyright law. Also, the fact is that the original article, under the name Freaky eaters was prod'd and deleted. Coming back with another article on the same topic and only capitalizing the E in Eaters doesn't take care of the original problem with the article. 172.146.182.106 17:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I have stubbed the article, removing the copyright vio section of the article (basically, the edpisode synopsis). And yes, whomever it was written by, it is copyrighted by the BBC site. If it needs speedied or prodded for another reason, feel free. Pastordavid 18:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Pastor David. I will leave it up to others to decide if this is Wiki Worthy. 172.133.68.127 18:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Addicted to...

I've removed the following from the article:

The series follows people with reported eating disorders, namely addiction to a particular type of food, most of the disorders are made up and the program is based on reported events.

Although each episode is titled "addicted to X", I feel this is misleading as the people on the show don't have an addiction in the sense that they are compelled to eat the food, it's more like the opposite, a phobia of foods which are "different". I've watched several episodes and one or two of the "freaky eaters" have described it this way. Also, the people on the show haven't been diagnosed with any recognized eating disorders, other than being labeled "freaky" by the show. Meddlingkid (talk) 12:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
