Episode #6 Connections and Pro-Ana

In this episode, we discuss social attitudes toward pro-ana, and explore why legislation to ban pro-ana content from social media is problematic.
*When speaking of Pro Ana Websites, we refer to any of a diverse number of websites created by people with eating disorders for the participation of other people with eating disorders. These websites tend to share some features, such as images of extreme thinness and tips for disordered eating practices, but also support and advice.
