Eating Disorder Demolition

8 to 10 million Americans, 10 to 15%, suffer from an eating disorder. The eating disorders we are dealing with are anorexia and bulimia. Anorexia is when someone starves themselves in order to lose weight. They have a very limited intake of calories, at the most five hundred a day. Bulimia is when people will go on a binge eating spree and then regurgitate all of it, also to lose weight.
Besides interventions and rehabs (which tend not to be as successful as people would like to think; only about 30 to 40% of people ever recover from the disorder), what else could we ever possibly do to fix this problem? Nothing ever seems to work does it? These poor women (and even some men) consider themselves so overweight and grotesque that they need to starve themselves and refuse to allow themselves to intake food. If only there was a way to actually force these people to eat. If only we could do something to fix this is terrible statistic. But there really isn’t anything we can do. If they want to starve themselves we really can’t help them, right? Wrong! If we could gather up every person who is underweight and make them eat, we could help them. I understand that there are people who are just simply overweight due to genetics or other factors, which is why we will gather all of the people are underweight by at the least ten to fifteen pounds. Even if someone is that underweight without an eating disorder, what I’m about to propose could help them as well.
Once we have gathered up all of the underweight Americans, they will be ushered to their respective rehab facilities. There will be one in Kansas, Montana, and Wisconsin. We have found large fields in all three that can be used for these facilities. Each facility will be sponsored different fast food chains. McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy’s are all ready to help demolish eating disorders. The patients will be randomly assigned to a different facility depending on how underweight they are. If they are 10-13 pounds underweight they will go to a Wendy’s sponsored facility, 14 – 17 will go to Burger King and 18 or more will go to McDonald’s. While in these facilities each person will be monitored by one of the guards, one guard for every five patients. This will also help the economy because it will be giving lots of people jobs. That’s just an added bonus. All patients will be forced to eat at least five meals a day; a meal is considered a burger or some form of their chicken and also comes with at least one large fry, a large soda, and some form of ice cream. They are allowed more if they’d like.
Patients who refuse to eat will be faced with serious consequences. We will set up several feeding tube, similar to the one that Alice Paul was trapped in during her hunger strike, since we are anticipating many people who will not want to eat. Eventually they will give in to our requests and eat. Hopefully they will realize that we are doing this for their own health and safety. We also realize that some may try to regurgitate their food in the bathrooms but we have that taken care of, too. The guards will follow them to the bathroom and stand outside of the stall while they go. If they hear them throwing up they will be forced to eat two extra meals. Again, refusal will result in the use of our feeding tubes.
Once a patient is twenty pounds overweight we will send them back to their homes. They will need regular doctor appointments, preferably every month or two, to make sure that they are no longer underweight. In the end the patients will thank us for enriching their lives and allowing them to become confident in themselves and their appearance again.
