I think I read the article. I dunno if it's the same one you're talking about... I can't find the link anymore.Jenny Kirk has talked extensively about eating disorders and pressure to stay skinny over healthy.
I'm not any kind of diet or health expert, so I've no idea how skaters should balance this. How they are to remain in competition weight without starving themselves. The way I look at it: if you can still do the tricks, you're fine. No point trying to please the haters.
