fact of the matter is, we're never meaningfully gonna address the anorexia crisis until you guys work actively to address and dismantle fatphobia. the reality of the situation is that going "you have to eat :( its okay to gain weight <3" does not work as a meaningful refutation when y'all then turn around and punish fatness financially socially medically physically. sickness is not always irrational- there is at current moment social benefit to being dangerously thin. you have all essentially made it socially acceptable for someones worst fear to be looking like us, like thats not a fucking crazy thing to just accept as being a valid fear. the first step to combatting this stuff is and has always been to stop pushing fat bodies out of public spaces
You can't save someone from being underweight if you punish others for not having a flat stomach and jiggly or loose skin. You can't save someone from being weak and chronically exhausted if you stare at fat people when we eat or exercise. You can't save someone from self inflicted malnutrition if you don't consider that fat people can be malnourished and starved. You especially can't save someone from being underweight if you think "it's fine that some people are fat as long as they have a medical condition" because no one has ever owed an explanation for the right to be fat and you don't have the authority to decide who gets to live comfortably in their own body.
