We’ve had at least one prior conversation like this. I think it’s worth repeating, as somebody suggested upthread, that it is likely that in the vast majority of such cases, there actually is an eating disorder, and intervention may be life-saving. If this is the case, then the problem is not with the overall policy, but with whether it can respond adequately to the outlier case of a person who is naturally very thin who does not have a disorder. In cases in the past, getting the kids’ doctors at home involved has sometimes led to a satisfactory solution.
