I have been fighting against my own demons with bulemia and anorexia going on 5 years now, and I cannot believe that guy said that. Asshat.
Though I must admit I loathe people who take the disease and turn it into a lifestyle (ie make a webiste and giving directions) Those who glamorize the internal suffering that is an eating disorder are true asshats.
i think that person's comment was really stupid because telling an anorexic person to eat is like telling a person with COE to stop eating, that's just dumb, or even an alocoholic to stop drinking, its psychological.
That EDs, including anorexia nervosa, are mental disorders is really not in question, although some people sadly don't seem to grasp this fact. Even if pro-ana websites seem to be a bad thing, I believe they are just an expression of the illness, a cry to the outside world as it is very difficult for sufferers to talk about their problems to other people directly. To revolve around calories and not-eating as the centre of one's life and thoughts is after all a main symptom of this illness and not a free choice by the sufferer. As one accepts that anorexia is an illness in its true scientific sense, it sounds silly to believe that one can 'catch' that illness by looking at a website (like no one will develope a multiple personality by looking at a website by such a person). Just my opinion.
