The Null Device

A disturbing new subculture has appeared on the Net: pro-anorexia web sites and mailing lists, organised by groups of young women who believe that being morbidly thin is attractive, and more important than health. The sites offer commandments such as "thou shalt not eat without feeling guilty", tips on how not to eat and how to hide your anorexia from caring people who just don't understand, and encouragement to surrender to peer pressure and constantly strive to be thinner.
