This is one of your more stupid posts, Ig. You're scraping the bottom
of the barrel to find something positive to say about a 13 year old girl
starving herself to stay stick thin. I wonder what her school work is
like
the days she only eats the piece of fruit. This is so not what we should
want a 13 year old to be doing. "If she lives to old age"? What about
the *quality* of her life now and in the immediate future?

Well, I merely pointed out one aspect of her anorexic lifestyle that
happens to be beneficial. Surely, one could find many other not so
positive sides of anorexia, and you did a splendid job at that.

Hello??? Anorexia is an ILLNESS, a DISORDER!

Yeah, there's plus sides to cancer too, I could point those out. One loses
weight at a rapid rate, without even trying. Yet, for some odd reason,
people think cancer is a not so cool illness to have.

I get so sick of the glamourization of anorexia, a "movie star"s illness.
As someone who suffered a whole gamut of eating disorders for nearly 2
decades, let me tell you, there is no "plus side".

Sure, an anorexic might not have breast cancer, but they have ANOREXIA.
Their teeth may be falling out, their bones may be brittle, but hey, they
don't have breast cancer....

Anorexia is an ILLNESS, a psychological, all-consuming ILLNESS, not a
"lifestyle".
