Do you consider people who don't eat are childish?

I mean adults who don't eat just cuz they don't feel hungry and they eat very little and sometimes even skip a day of eating. I personally think this is childish because you're an adult and you gotta take care of yourself, something as easy as eating should be done normally. (This is my case)

I consider people who don't eat to be dead, because thats what happens when you don't eat.

Children eat near constantly to the point of having to rebuy groceries for them twice as often as an adult would need, so I don't think it makes sense to call it childish to eat nothing or very little.

Thanks, had not thought about it that way.

People who don't eat, or don't eat much, are the health conscious ones: they take in the amount of food that they need and nothing more.

Here in the USA, most Americans, myself included, could skip one or even two meals a day be healthier because of it.

[Asker]

Yeah, but it's not healthy when I'm aware this hurts my body.

I don’t see anything wrong with that. Eating at regular times doesn’t have a part in keeping people healthy. It’s more the TYPES of foods they eat that matter.

Who says reduce food intake on occasion isn't takkng care of one's self. It demonstrates self control and delayed gratification. All very adult actions.

Guess I’m childish then and if people don’t want to eat then they don’t have to. Maybe they’re just not hungry

[FilmGuy93]

No? If you aren't hungry why would you eat?

[Asker]

because eating is necessary and it's not normal to not eat for a whole day or eat only a sandwich.

[FilmGuy93]

Sure, but if you're getting the nutrition you need, then it's not a big deal.

[Anonymous]

I consider them to be starving.
