Blog #3 responses: Why do people starve themselves?

Blog #3 responses:



1.) Pro-Ana websites are encouraging an unhealthy lifestyle. They encourage people to become way too skinny, almost to the point of starving themselves. Fasting and trying to have an anorexic life style are unhealthy and wrong. True people should try to stay in shape and be fit, losing fat is OK, but when a person tries to be so skinny that it is comparable to being starved, then that is too much. Without these sites, perhaps less people would try to have anorexic lifestyles.

2.) Even if someone has a very un-popular opinion on something, they are still entitled to express that opinion. This right is garunteed in the first Amendment of the U.S. constitution. Also, people who are pro-ana are merely living out a lifestyle that they are willingly and freely choosing to do. They can do what they want in terms of how they choose to live. Even is being so skinny or trying to be anerexic is unhealthy, that is their choice. And allowing people to have the freedom to pick the type of lifestyle they want, is one of the things that makes America a great country.

3.) Being pro-ana is not a crime, though it is unhealthy. It is wrong to try to force your views about pro-ana on others who aren't interested in adopting that lifestyle. But again if a person wants to have an anerexic lifestyle then it is their choice to do so. But again, people who are against it have the right to protest it and say that there should not be any pro-ana websites allowed. Overall, if people respect others' right to coose their own lifestyles, as long as they don't force their views on others then two or more groups with opposing ideas can co-exist.
