Would choosing to be anorexic be a tacit slap in the face to those who are really starving?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) May 10th, 2011

Is it a tacit slap in the face to desire to be anorexic in a nation that has plenty of food when there are nations where people are starving that want food badly but don’t have it available? For someone to have access to about any food desired and never have to go hungry to the point of starvation or wasting away, but starving by choice if they could swap places with one of those people in an impoverished nation that worries if they or a family member will live out the week with out dying from starvation would they? If they are that scared to eat anything if they don’t have the choice or the food was not available would they like that better?
