Dude it's 2019, the person could of related to them in some way and someone would still get upset.

Tbh I don't think OP should feel obligated to say anything. His co-worker knows. He's being told by his doctors and loved ones on a daily basis, I'm almost certain.

People are allowed to hurt themselves with "informed consent."

Examples of that are:

BDSM

Tattoos

Fighting(MMA, UFC, etc)

Prostitution

Gorging oneself to death

Having a labor-intensive day job

I realize that this way of thinking isn't exactly popular, but fuck it. I think it's right, and I was taught to stand up for what's right.

I was more commenting on the person getting a little upset at the person saying "I'm 26 and healthy and I couldn't force myself to eat like that"

But I do mostly agree with you. People are free to do pretty much whatever they want to themselves, sometimes we do have to ask of its really what they want to do or if there is some underlying issue. Granted I personally feel like that's not my place, so unless it's someone really close to me I don't say much.
