Petition Make it an offense to sell products advertising eating disorders as a diet.

Online retailers have recently been found to sell weight loss/diet cookery books that are promoting the mental illness of anorexia as a lifestyle weight loss choice. This could not be further from the truth and so I would like to see an end to companies being able to make money off of this.

More details

Anorexia nervosa, sometimes simply referred to as anorexia, is one of the most common eating disorders. Anorexia is a potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by self-starvation, excessive weight loss, fear of gaining weight, distorted body image, and at times, excessive exercising.
