I'm not defending their claims, just making that clear, but I do want to address the misconception about eating disorders being an avoidance of all food. This is only for eating disorders that have restrictive components (such as anorexia nervosa), and even then those people have "safe foods" they will eat...sometimes in large quantities (especially if that anorexic is binge-purge subtype). Most people who suffer from an eating disorder do eat shit food in massive quantities. That's exactly what a binge is, which is part of both bulimia and binge eating disorder (as well as some cases of "reactive" eating for people who heavily restrict most of the time). The difference between a binge and just overeating is that a binge is (usually) anxiety related, not pleasurable, and is done without thought. Overeating happens because a person likes the taste of the food and just doesn't want to portion it. Overeaters will eat until they're stuffed, whereas binge eaters will eat until they are in pain...sometimes to the point of a stomach rupture.  One way I like to describe the difference: Someone who overeats will order a large pizza with all their favorite toppings and eat the whole thing because they like how it tastes; someone who binge eats will eat pizza out of the trash can even if they don't like pizza. Like I said, I'm definitely not defending the fats and it really pisses me off how many obeasts claim to be suffering from anorexia (atypical anorexia exists, but like a genuine thyroid problem it's few and far between...not anywhere in the numbers the obeasts claim)...I'm just saying that most people with eating disorders do eat shit food in massive quantities as part of their ED.
