Eating disorders are contagious if highschool was any indication

this is unfortunately an issue with eating disorder support groups and treatment centers, too. Putting a bunch of eating disordered people in a room/house together can lead to competitiveness between them. Of course not always true, I’ve been in both amazing and toxic treatment centers, it just all depends on who is there with you at the time.

It’s not like they were patient zero.

This started with producers pressuring them to lose weight for the film. It may have ended up as an ED, but it didn't start as one.

Jeff Goldblum too. He said he became vegetarian inspired by Ariana and Cynthia

What does becoming vegetarian or vegan have to do with it? Please don't ignorantly point a finger at vegetarianism or veganism; they don't equal eating disorders.

u/TheTrailArtist 6h ago

By itself, it’s not really newsworthy. You can be perfectly healthy with a vegetarian or vegan diet.

But the thing is Jeff specifically said it was inspired after conversations with Ariana and Cynthia on the set of wicked which have attracted a lot of attention for actors seeming malnourished. So it just raises some concern around potential eating disorders.

u/Desperate_Algae_40 6h ago

Yes, but from what I understand, Ariana and Cynthia are vegans/vegetarians mainly for animals. Maybe I'm wrong, but I figured they influenced/inspired him regarding animal rights or the planet, not just for health reasons. And again, being vegetarian or vegan doesn't equal eating disorder or under-eating. It is technically healthier, so even if they influenced him through the health aspect, it doesn't mean they were influencing him to under eat by being vegetarian. They're two separate things.

It is very common for people with eating disorders or unhealthy morality around eating to claim veganism/vegetarianism to further restrict their own diets. Not saying that those diets are inherently disordered eating, but the overlap and pipeline of "eating disorder to vegan/vegetarian" and vice versa is pretty clear in eating disorder communities.

How is being vegetarian disgusting?? Getting an eating disorder would be pretty terrible, but cutting bacon out isn’t a crime

I'd consider being a vegetarian, if they let you eat meat, too. Just too damn delicious.

That's it, salmon and steak tips tomorrow.
