Sure. But when someone is mentally ill, rational thinking is very difficult. Plus, there is a huge amount of environmental factor going on here. It's just not "normal" or accepted to eat healthy food. I mean I'm a freak, and have dealt with the harassment that I get from paying attention to my mental and physical health, but I don't imagine most "normal" folks who are just trying to fit in and be accepted by their friends are going to be able to stick up for themselves and their health they way they would need to to actually be able to take good care of themselves by themselves. Which is why I say they need the support of a whole community to be able to heal.
