Pro-ana

Pro-ana is not a disease, Mr. Crane, it's a lifestyle choice.

Alicia: It's a pro-ana website, isn't it? Diane: Objection. Relevance? Howard: Yeah, I- I don't get it. What is that? Alicia: Pro-ana? It's a site intended to promote anorexia.

Beyond celebrating the aesthetic value of thinness, pro-anas claim that thinness is a reflection of excellence in other areas of one's life.

But juxtaposed to a caveat about the life-threatening nature of anorexia is often an avowal of the pro-ana's goal: to help anorexics in their quest for the "ideal" (emaciated) body.
