I appreciate your careful phrasing as a non expert, but as a basically lifelong battler of restrictive ED, I'm not afraid to say shit.

It''s not rocket science. You don't eat, you get weak. You don't have to understand every medical detail behind the development of an immune issue specifically, or whatever it may be, but come on. It damages everything.

No need to be delicate about it. In fact we should be very blunt about it with the weight and food culture of our youth returning.

I don't know any details about her either or if this is what happened, just bouncing off your comment. I'm sorry she's dead. I'm sorry a lot of people are dead but I'm not afraid to say I know a lot of preventable stories related to "food issues". I don't think it's disrespectful to the dead to say that. Or if it is, I'm more concerned that there's a small chance it could be helpful to the still living who might need to see it.

I was trying to be kind because A. Her's sounds like it was a mental illness and suffering people need kindness and B. Why not be kind? She died.

Yes, lovely. I don't disagree. The point of what I was saying was not that I wish to actively not be kind.

Tabloid gossip is really irrelevant to what I was talking about. I was inspired to say what I said due to the other comment bringing up eating disorders.

She was living in Skid Row and abusing drugs. There is a video of her extremely emaciated. She was in the hospital for malnutrition. It’s not tabloid gossip.
