520 _aA community of young women, known as the pro-ana bloggers, uses the Internet as a forum to exchange their methods of losing weight and to share details of their personal war against food. Their blogs stirred a wave of public sympathy which culminated, in April 2008, with the passing of a new law. We will see that the blogs, while certainly created with the goal of encouraging low weight, are written not so much from the point of view of the young women suffering from cachexia, but of the persons committed to anorexia/bulimia. Through their pro-ana blogging activity they are asking, firstly, for support to fight off the bulimic episodes, and, secondly, for recognition that they belong to a community.
