Health watchers in Spain have acted to shut down a pro-ana site
After the fashion world in Spain was banned underweight models from walking down the runway, health authorities are now cracking down on pro- anorexia web sites. One in particular is gaining attention.
The Great Ana Competition is a site that awards a diploma to the participants who eat the least amount of calories during a 2-week span. The scoring system they use is one that Doctors consider malnutrition.
The officials have stated the site is a “serious health risk for young people” and has warned of the mortality rate of those who follow such a diet. The government in Spain has put forth to a judge whether the site owners are criminally liable for the content.
