I was reviewing my old column last night and noticed a comment attached to it about diet (eating disorders).

"I'm scared that tomorrow will come just by thinking "I have to eat again""

-----

When I saw this fierce phrase, I was about to cry.

The Devil's Disease of not "not eating" but "not being able to eat" -- Anorexia

This column is a real report of a real-life experience where even I, a "man" who "lived half a century", easily went into an "anorexia" spiral.

And it's not hard to imagine that for a "teenage" "girl" the process of getting to anorexia is as easy as "rolling downhill".

In this column, I explain the mechanism leading to anorexia using only my (Ebata's) own body "experiments", "observations" and "physical phenomena", eliminating all kinds of subjectivity and emotions.

I also heard that parents who read this column use it as a resource to explain anorexia to anorexic children (mostly girls).

Please use this without limit.

You don't need to contact me about printing, teaching materials, lectures, or any non-profit use.

If my estimation (simulation) is correct,

- The number of deaths from anorexia nervosa in Japan is 584 per year (3000 to 4000 in France).

- More than half (or all) of the young women in Japan (Japan) die from anorexia.

This means that "young women are dieting to die" (of course, the extreme theory) also holds.

Parents, please explain to your child that

"failing to lose weight" is "good fortune that has escaped death"

Especially for teenage girls.
