I don't recall anyone at a con with a bag of dried fruit... So I'm guessing not me. But dried fruit is tasty :D
The negative comments towards slender girls is also not restricted to fandom. I've been called "anorexic", "skinny" and "unhealthy" because I am naturally slimmer than the average person (I weighed 25kgs when I started highschool and 50kg when I left- I dropped weight since then too but have chucked it back on in the past year or so), but someone who eats buckets fo fried food and icecream and is overweight is never called "fat", "lardarse" or "unhealthy" even though they are.
As for the fans making comments about sexual slender women- I have to say there is part of me who thinks they are just envious.
I agree with the supportive whilst encouraging change thing. I think alot of people don't realise what a problem it is.
