It might be controversial but I personally agree.
Especially as an adult your BMI is something you control. I don't understand why society is so tolerant of people mildly self-harming. Especially when the poor health as a result of obesity has an adverse affect on the economics of health the health care system we all use (public health, or company group pools).
If this was about stopping people cutting themselves for a high, then there wouldn't even be a debate. But because it's about an eating related disorder people are defending their dysfunction as acceptable.

- mlinsey 17y agoThe evidence you cite for low-obese BMI's being healthier than normal BMI's is a blogger's critique of published research which had the opposite finding. Incidentally, the first commenter on the blog did a pretty thorough job of refuting the blogger and defending the original study (whose findings contradict the claim you made here)
