Apparently, according to the geniuses at Yale University, anybody under a certain BMI has an eating disorder and needs to be force fed, even if they actually don't have an eating disorder.

Thankfully, there are overlord fatties to make sure that nobody can (physically) slip through the cracks:
She is 5'2" and weighs 90lbs. I'm sure a number of members here have known girls around that height and weight. I knew a 5'3" of 93 lbs. Thin, yes. Anorexic, no.
She even recounts feminist propaganda, stating that "every body is beautiful." Not good enough.
She isn't the first, though, the comment section yields another example of a woman bullied into eating more.
Further investigation shows that this is not recent:

Alice, a gymnist, was actually told not to work out because she was too skinny. This, of course, besides the fact that she shares a BMI with olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin. Another person in this article is shared, by the name of Stacy. She outlines the harassment.
Of course, the University is concerned about...
Nutritionally compromised? Start by tackling the fatties. You know what would be refreshing? Mandatory weigh-ins, exercise, nutrition and the threat of expulsion for people with a body fat percentage over 12%.

The nurse looked at me apprehensively. "It's easy to gain a couple pounds. What I'm afraid will happen is that you'll lose it again and you'll just be cheating yourself."
I couldn't keep the impatience out of my tone. "So you're just going to keep checking on me until I graduate?"
"If we don't tackle your low weight now, it will kill you."

I was forced to see a mental health professional. She asked me all of the standard questions -- how I felt about my body, how many calories I ate. I told her everyone's body is beautiful, including mine. When I said I didn't know how many calories, since I don't care to count, she rephrased the question, as if that would help.

At each of her weekly sessions with YUHS, which she now terms “weigh-ins,” Stacy was given a target weight to aim for the following week. According to Stacy, the inability to raise her BMI sufficiently, by YUHS standards, stemmed from this newly formed anxiety and a genetic predisposition toward skinniness. “Generally speaking, the women in my family are really skinny until marriage, when they start to put on padding,” Stacy joked.
Toward the end of the semester, Stacy was informed that if she kept failing to reach YUHS’ goals for her, she would be withdrawn for the following semester—no matter how superbly she was performing in other areas. Stacy’s impression of YUHS was that “there was no way to get around” its strict guidelines, not even with the help of a dean.

“That’s why it may seem that some of the policies are heavy-handed,” Sledge said, “because they don’t want the individuals to get nutritionally compromised.”
