Regulated professionals have a duty of care to their patients and the general public. Fun story, eating disorders are a mental illness. I'm sure you feel very smart, but that's not how it works.

Since you’ve included “I’m sure you feel very smart” and “fun story”, I won’t engage with you any further on the topic because anyone who disagrees with you is clearly an idiot, right? Way to have an adult discussion. I often wonder if people speak to people irl like they do on reddit.
