My thoughts exactly. She's eating the wrong things to gain weight. She's actually consuming things that will make her die.
Gaining weight is a matter of consuming more calories than you burn. Consuming things that are unhealthy, such as foods high in sugar, cholesterol, or sodium are only going to contribute to an unhealthy end-result. Diabetes, high-blood pressure, stroke, or heart attack. Also, eating foods high in fat won't necessarily cause you to gain weight. There is no metabolitic process in the human body to convert dietary fat (fat in food) into body fat. The body either metabolizes the fat into glucose, which is used right away, or it expells it.
If she wanted to seriously gain lots of weight she'd eat excessive quantities of protien, such as chicken, fish, or other lean meats. In addition, to possibly consuming protien powder.
