Hi Jenna. I’m not sure I understand your question. Maybe you could add some more details in the comments to help me?

They do eat. I’ve seen them!
Perhaps you are talking about the eating disorder anorexia, where people (usually women), don’t eat. You should really ask a psychologist, because it doesn’t make sense to me. I really enjoy good food, and the concept of not eating seems alien to me.

Mariam Orme answered on 22 Jun 2010:
If people have a disease like anorexia that makes them not eat, it’s because they have psychological problems. These problems can be caused by various different factors, but it’s often from a misguided desire to look good (of course, being horribly skinny doesn’t look good at all).

Thanks Joanna.
Jenna – If you did want to know why people become anorexic, I think there are lots of different reasons and we don’t know all of them yet. There are some scientists in Oxford (and all over the world) who are trying to find out – and are trying to make people better too.
