In most of the world overweight = eating disorder
In the US, not being overweight = eating disorder

I do not know if this is a joke post, but the opposite of over eating could be considered a polar opposite problem. The funny thing is when you have socities in both Europe and the US that have women gaining extreme amounts of weight while at the same time tmanyy strive to be a thin to point that most men do truly not find attractive. This creates a paradigm in society were women are in a vicious cycle of doing the opposite of what certain popular culture is telling them is true beauty.

Also, you have a history of bashing the US, do not forget that most Western societies are struggling with issues of obeseness and the obssesion with thiness. 

its not a joke post he hates on the US all the time. he has some weird extreme prejuduces against us, frankly its getting old. 

he is highly missinformed,and seems to no little about American society. i doubt he has ever been here, but he sure likes to act like he knows everything about it.

It's also ignorance about eating disorders. Anorexics and bulemics, if they come to recognise their disorder and chose 12-step as a way to deal with it (as my friend did), they go to Overeaters Anonymous, along with the obese overeater addicts. Clinically the addiction is the same whether you're skin and bones, or walrus-like. Regardless of how it manifests those disorders are about having an unnatural, unhealthy and dangerous obsession with food and body image, and the treatment is the same.

It's an interesting dymanic at OA. You can get an immensly huge person being the support person for a stick-insect, or vice-a-versa. With both people trying to meet in the middle, weight-wise.
