Re: Eating Disorder Common Among Elderly

please, someone engage me in a conversation about anorexia. why does someone need to be trained to recognize this condition? i really dont see that eating less is that much of a problem. quite the contrary, i suspect it is allowing older people to live longer. there has to be more to this condition than just not eating. it would not take much GOOD food to sustain a person. i am thinking that what IS eaten is not very healthy food. and still a person must be drinking. if i was trying to live on nothing but tap water, i know i would be sick because i would not have the wherewithall to counter all the toxins in it. there is a problem with all of this and i cant quite figure it out. it is a question i have had for a long time. from what i have seen of institutional food, i probably would rather starve too.
