Not sure your 'find' helps your case at all but I'm sure you can always find someone to say something.
This by you is an absolute statement and it is WRONG. When anorexia exists at both extremes and you say it does not , you are simply wrong. And I have always pointed out in the 'extremes of both' in my statements.

Good for you now pivoting your position to 'extremely rare' you could also say 'in the extremes of both', as i do, but I know this is forum land so instead you will try to say you are right in both instances.

It is but I'm totally with you if you oppose trying to silence people by shaming.
No. You oppose me because you are the definition of those who try to silence people and an apologist for the fat acceptance movement.
If you are going to strawman me with that 'shaming' crap then expect nothing else.
You tried that upthread and then pivoted when challenged on it pretending I had changed what I was saying when i did not. It is just your nature to be reactionary and defensive, which says more about you, then me.

The trouble is that your idea of is to try impose your view of what a healthy weight is on everybody. For our own good of course - we do need to be saved from ourselves.
On that we can agree to disagree.
Your use of the word 'impose' there is just more coded 'fat advocacy' talk which saying 'keep silent, we don't want these type of views out in society'.
I absolutely do see a societal role to try and 'save people from themselves'. Public health, mental health, alcoholism, drug use, are all campaigns I think society has a role in promoting and educating people on while putting forth what are considered good role models and examples of is positive and success.
Kids do need to be 'saved from themselves' and pushed to maximize mental and physical outcomes. We SHOULD NOT set expectations that mediocrity and a lack of effort is as good as motivation and maximizing effort. And that should not stop with kids.
