Like a Can Opener in a Worm Factory

"Every mouthful I eat, I'm saying that my hunger - my wants, desires, needs, pleasures - is more important than yours, than the viewer's."
I've heard this sentiment before a few times, from a few ED or former ED people. And it always strikes me as very odd. I have met only one non-ED person who thinks that variant of thinness and denial is sexy, and I find that person's tastes questionable at best.

We, the viewers, we like to see humans. Not the structure of the human, with the visibility of bone and sinew, but the human itself- with flesh and movement like a person rather than a breakable little bird. We revel in flesh, which is tactile, sensual, real, and can be worn in infinitely more ways than the basic structure. We love to see those who wear shapes and bodies entirely their own rather than the rows of identical structures that sell clouds of too-strong perfume to hide behind. If you must do things for your viewers, for those who see and judge you, consider that the viewer is far more pleased by the narrow waist contrasted by wide hips than by the narrow waist matched by painfully narrow hips.

If my sentiment is unhelpful or ignorant, please do explain why- my quite genuine lack of understanding on some things could really use a bit of education. Screen me if you need to.
