feedism is not an eating disorder.
as a sexual practice it carries risks (psychosexually and physiologically) and it can be practiced irresponsibly and/or exploitatively. which this is true of any sexual practice or relationship, normie or BDSM or otherwise. sex is powerful, life affirming, and dangerous. and obviously we are all adults here who understand and support the bodily autonomy of other consenting adults regardlesa of our own preferences or tastes.
feedism might be understandably viewed with trepidation from the outside because its intersection with sex and eating, appetite and desire, fat embodiment and the feelings of shame and humiliation often attached to that, makes it fraught (as do the structures and strictures of systemic fatphobia). and feedism can become compulsive and/or harmful and a source of suffering (which is our best working definition of "disorder" in a clinical sense) but the problem is bound up in how a person is relating to embodied sexuality and not that sexuality itself. this pronounced psychosexual dimension makes "disordered feedism" a categorically different psychic structure from anorexia or bulimia.
if the way you (or others) are engaging with your sexuality feels compulsive or otherwise causing you distress, that's a problem. but there is nothing inherently wrong with finding fat or eating or weight gain etc erotic or desirable. it does not make you bad, it isn't a failing, it isn't a sin, and it isn't an eating disorder.
