there are so many eating disorder sufferers who struggle to recover not mainly bc they can’t afford treatment (this is the focus of accessibility discourse in the professional world and grossly overestimates the importance of treatment lol), but because they can’t afford the food. to recover we really can’t be experiencing chronic food restriction and deprivation, but food insecurity or the inability to buy the foods we want and need creates a setting of perpetual deprivation. and this is not only about the “bio” piece–there are also the psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of harm in not getting our basic needs met. it’s self-evident that this works against healing. if we are concerned w the accessibility of eating disorder recovery, we’d do well to focus less on professional services and more on being committed anti-capitalists.
