honestly i think it's a little sensitivity over how much depictions of thinness are persistent, and also...when i was a teenager there were a bunch of internet forums, like pro-ANA sites, which would recommend books like this because despite the portrayal being about the negative consequences of bad mental health, it would end up validating disordered eating for people in the thick of it because of the descriptiveness.

i think you're right though that that shouldn't stop literary depictions of that type of mentality, but descriptiveness is one of those things where i don't think there's a consensus on the balance between depiction and glorification, because it will be validating for people who already have a warped perspective.
