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?!

Generally the justification is that it makes them "average" and deviation from the average diet is a sign of an ED. It's not intelligent or ethical.

They wouldn't have the ability to apply direct pressure unless the person went in for treatment of something.
