Telling a skinny person that they are too skinny and that they should go "eat a sandwich" 
is just as offensive as telling a fat person they are too fat, and that they shoud eat less
Skinny shaming is a real problem, it happens all the time, in the most ignorant ways
People accuse skinny people of being anorexic or starving themselves
Yea, people have anorexia and people do starve themselves
But its just plain wrong and insulting to assume all thin people are thin because they are unhealthy
lots of thin people have a high metabolism, they are skinny due to their genetics, gaining weight
might be really difficult for them
Lots of people play sports and are thin because they have a profession that requires them to be skinny
this doesn't mean they are unhealthy
skinny doesn't mean anorexic
anorexic doesn't mean just being skinny
and telling people like this to just go eat a sandwich and that will solve the supposed problem, is ignorant
because it actually doesn't solve anything, it just shows how rude people are

Apparently when a skinny person gets insulted, its an opinion, and when a fat person gets insulted, its being hateful...body shaming is body shaming, regardless of whether the person is skinny or fat

People always tell me "if you don't want to be anorexic anymore, then go eat a sandwich and put some meat on your bones" People like that are idiots....Anorexia is a serious mental disorder. It can't just be "fixed" by eating more food
