British Celeb Horrified by Her Appearance on 'Pro-Ana' Website
A website that supports anorexia nervosa as a lifestyle choice has used a picture of British TV presenter Fearne Cotton as a role model, and Cotton said she is horrified. She discovered the picture while filming a documentary about the dangers of eating disorders.

Viewers [of the documentary] see her shriek: 'Oh my God, what the hell's my name doing there? That's the worst thing I've ever seen. ... To think girls would use that is horrific. ... I don't want to be associated with anything like this.'Filming of the documentary also took Cotton to a West London school where elementary school girls complain to her about being fat or needing to diet. Cotton said she learned a lot about the complexities of eating disorders and hopes that her documentary will help one or two girls shift their attention from weight to something more positive.

How can we sit here and let this disease kill our friends and family? I have already lost someone to this mess and I pray that people become more aware of this disorder.
