I'm sure I judge in some way. Everyone does, and they'd be lying if they were to say they didn't. Of course, everyone wants to appear morally perfect by saying they don't judge, which is ironic because those people are judging those who are honest and upfront about their judgements.
I judge the society based off the byproducts of unhealthy people. And, as Internet said in a previous comment, there are some variables of slight predictable personality that can't be ignored. I believe there are exceptions to everything, but at the same time, there are patterns, and it would be ignorant and naive to ignore them just for the sake of someone's feelings. Would I verbally judge or actively judge someone in a negative manner? No. Do I feel saddened by and worried about eating disorders of any kind? Yes. That's a form of judgement, but who says judgement alone is a bad thing?
Some people feel disgust towards those with eating disorders. Some feel sadness. Some feel pity. To not judge would mean to be indifferent, which does not help those people get healthier. We have to judge people to deem that they are in need of help or support. Maybe it would be a good idea to identify the definition of 'to judge.' Judging with the intent to reprimand or shame someone is totally unacceptable, but judging with the intent to help or care for someone is the only way we can identify and reach out to help those who really need it.
