The Craze About Pro Anorexia Websites
There is a lot of talk about the many pro anorexia websites that are out there in the Internet and how harmful they are. Let me tell you, there are much bigger problems in the world than this. Overweight and obesity kills hundred times more people than anorexia nervosa. Fat people make themselves fat, it is not a disease, it is their own decision. Anorexia nervosa is a mental disease. I have never heard so far that a website can cause a disease, not to mention anorexia nervosa. And you never will because it is nonsense.
I agree that there are many web sites which promote harmful dieting tips. But hey, if you want to delete all the web sites which post garbage than the Internet would be a quiet, small place. This kind of censorship can not solve any problems. It never had. And I think we have overcome dictatorship with the second world war.
When someone goes to the Internet to look for fast, quick dieting or anorexia tips then they will always find them. You can find plans how to build an atomic bomb in the Internet and so much other crap. What will you do against it?
I personally find this great. The Internet has become so big and gorgeous because it is an almost free world for everybody. Everybody is free to post his or her opinion and people from all over the world can read it. The Internet has become a place of Information, good and bad. More bad than good but that is true for anything. Deleting one part of a system also means erasing so many great other parts. You will never be able to draw an exact line because it does not exist.
But that makes us human different to animals. We use our brains to judge, think, research and - most important - to choose. Do you want a censorship? If yes, then where do you start. Are you the one who sets the mark for others. Are you the one who is telling the others what they are allowed to think and to do?
Well, I wish you good luck with that. The Internet welcomes everybody. That is the great thing with it. But you can choose what you want to read and what not and what advice you decide to follow and which not.
Beside all the craze, there is one thing that will always be true, no matter what others write. Fat people are not living healthy and will die earlier. If you complain about eating disorders, then I would rather focus on helping fat people than us thin ones. They need your help more than us. I rather want to live healthy and be thin and even risk to get anorexia nervosa than living 'normal' having 20 pounds overweight. I know the chances are very low to get anorexia nervosa. There is risk in anything but pro anorexia websites do not harm me. No doctor will tell you that there is a risk of dying from anorexia nervosa when doing a diet or being a little underweight.
