trapper get off your high horse for once! The affects of under nutrition are well known, leading to fertility problems neural damage and other harmful side effects!
To support that any child can just stop eating. without the years and wisdom of an adult, who himself may not aquire the knowledge to even fast properly in thier lives. You are just plain ignoring the reality of a child reading about something then hiding it from thier parents to be able to do so!
Stop with the guru ism! Sometimes wisdom is backing off a little!
