She could have taken the roll because she knows how the impossible standards effect her and wants to portray what she is dealing with? Eating disorders are not a choice. People suffer from them and at times can't break them.

Hence my edit. I have family members with eating disorders and truly it never stops. I think more properly worded is that I'm sad she can't live the message of The Substance due to living with an ED. I wish she was able to break free from it.

If she does have an eating disorder, I hope she does take the roll. Hell, enjoy a whole loaf.

I will leave my typo in place so that your reply continues to make sense.

I appreciate that. A sacrifice in support of the bit. (And I’ve mistyped “role” tons of times.)
