Okay but maybe someone should point out that just because you can see someone's ribcage it doesn't necessarily mean they're starving themselves
it's harmful to think that ribcage=starving yourself because there are many girls/boys/NB individuals who suffer from anorexia and bulimia who aren't super skinny, and people deny that these people need help because they don't fall into societies pigeonhole of what someone with an eating disorder "should look like"
I've been accused before by someone I know claiming that I needed to "get help" because god forbid, she could see my ribcage. Don't assume that people are starving themselves/not taking care of their body when that might just be how their body is. There are indicators of eating disorders, and a visible ribcage usually isn't a major one
so basically, seeing the ribs does not equal being underfed
