Wasting Away on the Web

Shocking Internet sites are encouraging Anorexia as a "lifestyle"

By Natalie Barrett

It has been revealed that the number of pro-anorexia web sites is on the increase. On Yahoo! alone there are a staggering eighty-seven pro-anorexia sites for anyone to click on to.  These sites have names like Dying to be Thin, Skinny as a Rail, Stick Figures and Starving for Perfection. The sites are mostly set up by groups of American teenagers but they are encouraging girls in Britain and around the world to follow suit. PlanetGrrl Babe - Wasting Away on the Web
