Support For Those With Eating Disorders

A Kimkins staff member has stated on national television that they try to prevent people from developing eating disorders by providing support. Just prior to this statement she admits that the incidence of eating disorders in a group of people with food issues is inevitable.

I am curious about what happens when this support does not prevent an eating disorder. What happens when someone who is active on the forum makes statements that are clear indications that they have an eating disorder? What happens when someone on the Kimkins forum is vocally concerned that something is wrong with their personal way of eating?

  1. This post by Medusa shows what type of responses a person with ED gets in the Kimpound.

  2. In this case, support means ‘enabling’ at best, and ‘instruction’ at worst. It is unconscionable. I had to look that word up to make sure I was using it correctly. It means shocking and morally unacceptable. Yep, that’s exactly what I meant to say!
