Answers: if someone is thin why do people think they dont eat at all

Blue Boy ... Because they are clueless!

Sometimes such comments are spurred by jealousy, other times out of genuine concern. No worries... stick and stones, etc. etc.

Because they believe wrongly that all people have the same metabolism and think that since they don't eat alot but they are fat then the people that are thin must not eat at all or are malnourished.

That's a good question!! I'm thin and a vegetarian, and people are always like, "Why don't you ever eat?" or "You NEED TO EAT MEAT OR YOU'LL DIE" or "I don't want to hug you too hard, you might break!" Like, OMG it gets soooo annoying. Especially when the people who say it are usually the friends I eat lunch with, and they've even commented that I eat a lot to be so thin! Gosh, I don't know, I guess they're just jealous.

there is thin and their is skeletal thin! If you are referring to Anorexia, one is usually able to see all the bones including ribs and it is obvious then that they are not eating or eating very little. What do you consider thin?

Probably more of a natural logical assumption, nothing more.

i am thin and hav gotten stick over it but i just play along with it, i dnt care wat they think. i mite even take it too far. im nearly sure there are a few ppl who think i am anorexic cos i play along wen we talk bout it. oh well der prob. i eat a healthy amount and dats all dat mattrs to me.

because they are making assumptions!

Thank You, i'm thin and people just ask why i never eat, even when i have food in my hands.

Primarily becaused the majority of people are becoming obese. Eating regular amounts and exercising a lot should build muscle (bulk). The more one eats, and if they don't get enough exercise...fat will appear. Likewise, the less one eats, and with regular exercise, the body becomes thin. But a lot depends on ones metabolism too. Check with your family doctor and he will give you age, height and weight calculations.

well my brother is skinny and he eats a whole lot and never gains weight, I don't know how he does it.

it, like some people said, is genuine concern, for some it is ignorance. I'm the opposite, just because I'm fat doesn't mean that I'm always eating, or don't move, I just have a really slow metabolism...
