That is pretty off-base to call her underweight; you haven't even seen her. I personally know lots of women who are naturally quite thin, just as I am - because I am genetically predisposed to being that way. It is horrible when such people are vehemently criticized by others who automatically assume they have an "eating disorder".
Your daughter is much more likely to grow up having an eating disorder that causes her to be *over*weight than underweight, given that something like 65% of Americans are overweight.
