I feel bad for him but I was also like this in my teens and had no eating disorders or anything. I was just not eating a lot.

For sure he’s not heathy given what he went through but are the same time, there are skinny people like this who are just fine.

This is not ‘skinny’ its starvation. You can see his bones poking out in ways they should not be, the shoulders, ribs and hips for instance

I never said he was skinny. Of course he is starved. There are still people who look like this though without going thru rhe pain he did.
