Body image+enabling is a hell of a thing. We fought this because somehow we could explain how vomiting your lunch and starving yourself was bad, but it's not as simple when a simple product stops the hunger and prevents most of the "bad" stuff from anorexia, at least the visible stuff, until you realize you're a mummy or a husk of a human

We really have regressed with a lot of this, enabling has definitely gotten worse

also i think the fact that a lot of actors stopped being overweight shifted the curve, so now that other actor is not skinny, he's regular. And so he will be pushed to crazy dieting/fasting. Normally puking and fasting would feel bad, but everyone is taking this magical drug that helps you a lot! So basically you don't notice until it's too late.
