Pro-Anorexia Websites

EDM number 973 in 2007-08, proposed by Mark Hunter on 20/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Food, Health education and preventive medicine, Internet and cybercrime and Mental health.

That this House, recognising that 25th February to 2nd March has been designated Eating Disorders Awareness Week, notes with growing dismay the increasing number of young people, especially female, suffering from eating disorders; further notes with concern the number of websites encouraging millions of vulnerable young people to become anorexic or bulimic, falsely promoting eating disorders as a lifestyle choice and supplying tips on how to maintain their disorder in secret; believes that these sites should act responsibly towards young people; and calls on the Government to promote awareness of the dangers of these sites and provide support for those affected by eating disorders and their families.

This motion has been signed by a total of 93 MPs.
