What can be done to reduce the effects of eating disorders?on indiviuals and the comunity

go to a shrink, and get to the root as to what started the eating disorder and go from there. Once the person with the disorder understands what brought it on, he/she will be taught how to control it.

Try to prevent them from ever occuring.

Well, there's not really much that can be done to completely prevent everyone from getting an eating disorder.
However, something that can be done to reduce the impact on everyone is to make it illegal for insurance companies to refuse to provide treatment for people who actually want to recover. I've known quite a few people who've ended up getting into tons of trouble (even legal troubles) because they weren't able to get treatment or weren't able to stay in treatment long enough because of their insurance companies.
