I'm bumping this up because I have been reading some extremely disturbing stuff online.
WCBI Exposes Websites Glorifying Anorexia and Bulemia
They are known simply as Ana Mia websites. "Ana" for anorexia -- "Mia" for bulemia...and a simple online search yields hundreds of chatrooms with postings like these: "I love how hunger feels." "I try to make an apple last all day." "Just cook, but don't touch. The smell will help you feel full." The sites are often visited by young teens looking for tips to lose weight. But those tips can be deadly. Some sites show photographs of food so teens can feast on "virtual" meals they won't ever let themselves eat. Others offer "thin"spiration photos of super-skinny models, or worse, anorexia patients. If you suspect your child has been visiting "Ana Mia" websites, you can call the Eating Disorders Awareness and Prevention Hotline at 1-800-931-2237.
