issues involved, but that doesn’t mean that the opposite extreme is in
any way healthy and is not just as harmful”

Actually this isn’t remotely true, obesity is far more serious and more harmful than anorexia. Anorexia is one of the most treatable disorders in existence; not only is it usually relatively easy to spot developing, it’s usually quite treatable and has an extremely low mortality rate (11 per 100,000 cases IF you have it). In contrast, obesity kills 300,000 Americans a year. The threat of anorexia is way overblown.
