Anorexia refers to the promotion or support of anorexia nervosa as a lifestyle choice rather than a mental disorder. The following article is concerned with web sites that not only give those who choose to defer or refuse medical or psychological treatment a place to discuss their illness in a non-judgmental environment. They go further, disputing the prevailing medical and psychological consensus that treats anorexia nervosa as a mental illness rather than a life philosophy.
Key words: eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, internet, life style, Pro-anorexia Web Sites.
