Daisy is said to struggle with an eating disorder, she regularly compulsively consumes and an entire chicken from her fathers deli, she is found to have multiple rotting carcasses of such hidden under her bed (representing both his visits which are indicative of incest/rape, and the consumption of the chickens themselves).

There are also mentions of laxative abuse and purging on her part:
Lisa: “You’re a laxative junkie...”
Daisy: “I like my dad’s chicken, and when I eat something else, I puke.”

there's nothing shown or brought up in the show, but a little after the events of the show in the book, charlie is revealed to have anorexia. there's a whole plot about him getting treatment and recovering from the disorder, so if theres ever anymore seasons made this topic will definitely be explored. though nothing is mentioned or shown in the show this far, there are a few moments where charlie is offered food and turns it down, usually by saying he isn't hungry

•In S5 Famine, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, causes insatiable hunger similar to binge eating. We see this affect a main character [Castiel].

•It is implied that Dean (main character) may have a binge eating disorder from childhood neglect (lack of food while Dad abandoned them on hunting trips). Most non-violent scenes with Dean feature him consuming food of some kind. He has an unhealthy relationships and attachments to food, sometimes putting it above other priorities.

Do NOT watch this (at least not the first two seasons) if you could in any way be triggered by eating disorders. Don't do it, just trust me.

It's played for "comedic effect", which may make this trigger worse since it is handled so insensitively.

Abby has an eating disorder. She purges during the Halloween episode off-screen. Her eating disorder is well hidden, and it seems it will be played into more in season 2. The way it affects her mood and other aspects of her life are noticeable if you also have an ED. She also has body dysmorphia. See the BDD category for details.
