A girl complains that your 14-year-old nephew eats all the food in the house. There is nothing left for anyone else. How do you comment?

“That’s normal for his age. Better increase your grocery budget.”
“Maybe he is lacking an essential nutrient. Take him to a dietician.”
“He must have an eating disorder!”
