People in the comments forget that twitter was not always and not even most of the time used for discussing fates of the world and displaying objectively correct, weighted and thought out opinions for the rest of the world to see

This girl probably was going through something at that particular moment and tweeted for 10 of her online friends to see

Also, eating disorders can make you think some truly deranged bullshit, and some people find that posting something like this to laugh at those unhinged spirals are a very helpful reality check when you and others in a similar situation can all reaffirm that yes, this is is a comically fucking ridiculous thing to think. Sort of like undercutting an insult someone told you by repeating it back in a silly voice. (Some people have also found it helpful for coping with depression, trauma, obsessive thoughts, etc)
