Anorexia: it’s a lifestyle not a disease. That’s the view of the three young people who feature in this observational documentary. Part of the
pro-anorexic world, they reject the idea of ‘eating disorders’ and choose to celebrate them as a lifestyle choice instead.

For the first time this programme investigates the underground network of pro-anorexic websites which encourage people to raise their condition to an almost cult like status. It tackles head-on the the extreme lifestyle of people with eating disorders and what motivates younger people who choose to live their lives in this way.
