I generally think of myself as someone who is very aware of eating
disorders and how they affect thousands of young people, particularly girls. However, I had no idea that there was such a large pro-anorexia online community. This shocking piece unveils just part of this network of anorexics who encourage and support other anorexics to continue their dangerous practice.

The vox in this piece was amazing--the interview with the eating
disorders expert who gave her take on the pro-anorexia trend was very compelling. It was sad yet fascinating to hear the anonymous
pro-anorexia (or pro-ana) blogger tell her story. The introduction to
the piece using phrases describing different terms used by pro- anorexics caught my attention. And then the producer got right to the point and gave a good overview of the pro-anorexia trend---all in a 4:11 piece that's not too long for a radio feature.

This piece is an amazing and depressing look at the pro-ana movement, but I'd like hearing more--maybe you could do a second part? Also, listing some local resources for anorexics could be good in case you have any listeners in need of help. Either way, this is an issue that needs to be talked about a lot more, so thanks to Christopher Krumm for bringing it up!
