1. Thomas Szasz:

   Addiction, obesity, starvation (anorexia nervosa) are political problems, not psychiatric: each condenses and expresses a contest between the individual and some other person or persons in his environment over the control of the individual's body.

2. Rachel Egan:

   As somebody who has lived with an eating disorder for 14 years, I was absolutely horrified when I found out about Kurbo, some of the behaviors that Kurbo encourages such as tracking your food intake, categorizing foods as good or bad and compensating for what you have eaten [ with exercise ] are all behaviors which fueled my anorexia and made it harder for me to recover.

3. Kaitlyn Davidson:

   Anorexia is not a body type or a body shape, it’s a mental illness. You still need to treat it, even once the weight has been gained.

4. Jessi Davin:

   I almost died from this. I know it's supposed to be funny and s *** t and yeah I get that, but seriously. THIS IS NOT FUNNY. Anorexia is nothing to party about or laugh at. It's real, it's deadly, and should not be marketed as a slutty outfit, want to dress as' Anna Rexia' ? Just go as a Vampire, or a Zombie. Because 1/3 of us are dead.

5. Joanna Steinglass:

   This study was the first to test the hypothesis that the behaviors in anorexia nervosa meet the cognitive neuroscience definition of ‘habit’, we found that while patients with anorexia nervosa make choices about food, they show related activity in the dorsal striatum, whereas healthy individuals do not. This suggests different neural mechanisms are active for these individuals.
