![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Milk-Fed’s preoccupation with what Rachel is and isn’t eating can be, at times, exhausting-in the way that actually suffering from an eating disorder can be exhausting-but Broder sees eating disorders as a kind of “monotheistic religion,” and her refusal to allude circuitously to Rachel’s problems in forgiving ellipses is strangely invigorating. “I am an eater who feels safest at a place of very thin,” she wrote in So Sad Today in that book, she detailed her experiences with anorexia, binge eating, laxatives, and a host of other hallmarks of disordered eating. The notion of a higher power is central to both a religious and eating-disorder-prone mentality, and Broder has written frequently about turning the latter into the former.
