The 90% thing is off the cuff hyperbole. Do you normally take any random percent people throw out in conversation extremely literally? If someone says they do something "99% of the time," that doesn't mean they crunched the numbers and actually do something 99% of the time. The unspoken rules of language are weird, but holding someone to a random number they threw out to express their frustration and desire for an easier way to get enough food is weirder.

I've expressed my frustration that I can't find high enough calorie liquids and that's a sign of "giving up" on life or on eating? If you feel attacked by someone pointing out that you are really making lots of negative assumptions and overstepping my boundaries, then how should I feel that I'm treated like I'm giving up and trying to hurt myself or something by trying to get more calories in when I'm out of the house? Is asking for help and seeking options to make it easier to follow my treatment plan bad? Is wanting to improve my diet and free up my time and energy to have a life beyond basic survival at the same time destructive? Is trying to live a sign of a lack of will to live? Is trying to find more things I can easily eat disordered?

I have physical issues that make a mostly liquid and soft, high moisture diet a need. If you can find a source that supports the claim that eating a high moisture diet or liquid meals is dangerous, I'd love to see it. In my case, it's an important part of having a diet that I can actually physically eat and enjoy. Just because it's not your normal, doesn't mean I'm neglecting my health. If you wouldn't accuse an able-bodied person of not eating "real" food because they like having a smoothie for breakfast everyday, then that's a clear double standard. If anything, it's healthier to be supervised by a doctor and dietician and choose drinks that are specially formulated to have lots of nutrient for people who struggle to eat enough.

Before seeing a dietician, I was borderline underweight and had a near death experience because I couldn't eat enough food. If the tone of my original post seems fearful, it's because I'm desperate to prevent that from happening again, not because I'm afraid of living or something.

You're misattributing something onto my words that isn't actually there. Understandably, I don't like someone waltzing into a post where I'm asking for help accusing me of giving up and projecting suicidality and an eating disorder that doesn't exist onto my words. And constantly twisting and pulling things out of context. E.g., I was "giving up" on the extensive meal prep and planning and done with co

I get it, it's hard to witness someone having an issue that can't easily be resolved with just "order a meal kit" or "just eat crackers or something"
