Bah. I know it's mean, and I'm sorry, but if those people have such a low self-opinion that they feel they have to STARVE themselves to get to their ideal weight...let them take themselves out of the gene pool. At least, unlike alcoholics or drug users, there's a much lower risk of them taking out other people when they destruct.

Neck extensions and genital/body mutilations, foot- and waist-binding, now self-imposed starvation - when it comes to socially-supported forms of self-harm, there's always been people who choose it.
