I would like to see an experiment:
Send a bulimic/anorexic to an island where there is plenty of fresh water, but absolutely no food...not even insects. Nothing to eat at all. Turn a TV camera on them and see what happens. Are they overjoyed at the fact that there is no food, even though it means they are doomed? As they starve to death, do they become more and more ecstatic? Are they at their happiest seconds before they die? Or do they forget about their precious "figure" when they realize that eating is no longer an option, and that they are, without a doubt, going to die?
My second experiment involves what a person with Terrett's Syndrome says if he/she grows up without ever hearing profanity of any kind, but that's for another thread.

It wouldn't matter if there was ample water and/or no food.
It would only matter if there's other people.
No other people = no social anxiety = no bulemia
