Food for thought: They eat food. That is an excellent question. With addictions like drugs or alcohol people are advised to stop use completely. Obviously that can not be done with food addictions. It is usually a struggle because the individual who has anorexia usually doesn't want someone to take control of them and they usually don't want to gain weight. Many need to gain weight to become healthier.
