Teacher that is promoting eating disorders

I am in middle school and there is a wellness teacher that exibits very toxic eating behavior.

Lets call him C. C is an overall wellness teacher for the school, he is roughly fifty, and a surprisingly popular teacher. He blantantly promotes anorexia and orthorexia. He puts a heavy emphasis on thinness and looks, not just health, tells us to COUNT CALORIES, tells us to eat low calorie food, calls many foods just straight poison (Ex. SUGAR), calls us fat, wants us to have a low BMI and overalll unhealthy eating habits. Many girls (Including me) have, are suptable, or recovering from eating disorders and his class as made the issue so much worse. There is one girl, she is 5'5 and 95 lbs, and said she wants to lose 10 pounds to be "Skinny" and C SUPPORTS IT. He also is extremely creepy and has predetory behavior to girls. He focuses alot on the girls and is doing so much harm to them, even if they are not fully aware. I need help on this situation.

edit: i have reported him but nothing has been done, im planning on speaking with the school board with my mother. Also i might post a bit more about the school itself cause it is insane
