[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just send her your menu and ask what you should have on hand for her to eat that she can quickly pull together for herself on the days she won’t eat the stuff you are making. [/quote]

These suggestions are getting ridiculous. This might make sense for a 4 year old following a strict diet for serious health reasons but this is an adult. Capable of ordering food, grocery shopping, planning ahead, or just eating 2 bites of something offered like every other grown adult that doesn’t care for the menu choice.

2 bites.  She’s not eating enough as it is and you want to starve her.  No, be a good host. [/quote]

She's starving herself. Let's assign responsibility accurately here. [/quote]

[b]First. No matter what OP does this visit she’s not going to change her sister nor her parents. So she can choose to make a big deal out of it or just quietly provide the kitchen space or appropriate food options. [/b]

Second. Are people who are keto, or carnivore, or vegan, etc. starving themselves? I’m curious if OP’s sister has an actual diagnosed eating disorder or is just - like MANY here - very restricted in order to stay skinny and OP has themselves diagnosed the sister.

Lots of people don’t eat red meat, dairy, bread, etc. and I wouldn’t jump to “eating disorder.” Half the people I know have various restrictions and diets; they’d all have an ED under that logic. [/quote]

All of these have merit, but the bolded is the most relevant for this situation.  OP is not going to change any dynamic or fix whatever issues sister has by telling her she either has to eat pizza or can't come.  What it is going to do is cause a lot of drama that will be a lot bigger headache than a dirty pan in the kitchen.[/quote]
