well it doesn't matter "how you see it" we're talking about facts and medical science. And it's been proven over and over again, that anorexics and bulimics are able to release pleasure hormones into the brain through either restricting (in the case of anorexics) or binging/purging (in the case of bulimics) the same pleasure hormones released in the brains of gambling addicts when they gamble, or sex addicts when they have sex. It is an addiction, medically. Whether you choose to believe it or not.
