"Anorexia" literally is defined as not eating. Anorexia Nervosa is the compulsive fear of eating/gaining weight. Long term efforts of the AN sufferer will ultimately to become underweight. You CANNOT have this disorder and be fat.
It is also amazing to me that thermodynamics only apply to normal/underweight people and not them. No no, they nibble delicately on salad yet somehow stay obese, but the fit girl in the office they work at "needs to eat"...

Exactly, if they truly had a restrictive ED that could possibly become AN, people would notice. Thy would drop massive amounts of weight quickly and probably look incredibly unhealthy - don’t give me that “I had anorexia but people congratulated me on my weight loss” shit. The difference between healthy weight loss and disordered eating weight loss is pretty damn obvious.

Maybe call it ‘short-term anorexia,’ like not eating for half of an hour? Diagnosis based on being obese and complaining of not eating enough.

"Short term anorexia" is what my cat had when she didnt eat for 3 days due to tummy upset and had to be taken overnight for a drip. Fats never stop eating for more than half an hour anyway.

Actually, there's a segment of mental health treatment that denies that and is trying for a social diagnosis of being "underweight" for anorexia, such as having a bmi of 22 in a country with an average bmi of 26 would make a person severely underweight. The treatment I was taught for treating anorexia disgusted me.

How could they ethically force someone healthy to become unhealthy?!

Salad at McDonalds and other places are often just as unhealthy or more so because of the shit they do to the things to make them taste good. Our entire society is being poisoned by cheap tasty food that is engineered to be addicting. I hope we eventually get an FDA that works for the people's health instead of the bullshit it currently does.
Then when you combine that with the horrific fat acceptance movement we've got a recipe for absolute insanity.
