They are different definitions of 'thin'. An anorexic person is thin in an extremely unhealthy way; they lose just as much muscle as fat. A normal 'thin' person just has very little body fat, but the usual amount of other tissue. This makes them far healthier.

Anorexics don't completely starve themselves because they'd die.

They consume enough calories to survive (usually 300-400 daily, maybe less, like an apple and Diet Coke for example) but not enough to gain weight, so they lose it instead. Starving does work but is a terrible idea.
