Tired of searching for thinspiration? Why not turn your attention to a new lifestyle choice?

Some of those thinspiration sites were unnerving - 13 and 14 year old girls starving and berating themselves for not doing more to lose weight.

At first I thought it was a joke site, but there are too many of them for that to be the case.

Fuct up fasheezy

I for one am tired of having the Citrus Conspiracy constantly telling me to drink their orange juice and squeeze their limes on my burritos. Avast ye this Pro-Ascorbic Life! Scurvy is beautiful!

wow, that pro-scurvy site is a joke stretched to tremendous length.

I am so excited that there are other MeFiers who understand the scurv. It's always scary to tell someone, because so many people discriminate against us.

Scurvy is not weird. Scurvy is a way of life.

Yeah, all those pro-ana livejournals are just about the most depressing thing ever.

Actual quote: "Hey, so someone told me that cocaine makes you lose weight, I heard that's what MK [Mary-Kate] used. Anyhow I got my friend to get me tweak which is the same thing but I don't know how much to use and what not. So if someone could please explain this to me, that would be awesome!"

What the hell is this?

It's a parody of pro-anorexia sites, which are unfortunately quite real. Pretty well done, I thought.
The robot line made me smile too.

Obesity kills a lot more people than anorexia does, but it's poltically incorrect to say anything hostile about anyone who's overweight. I dropped from 260 to 170. Eating "disorders" were helpful in that and I am much healthier now.

Um, glider, anorexia is a compulsive disorder associated with unreasonable weight loss; not a reasonable attempt to combat obesity.

Pro-scurvy was hilarious. Unfortunately, this was disturbingly ironic in the unfunny way.

The opposite of anorexic is scurvy, isn’t it?

I laughed, heartily, but felt bad about it so I stuck my finger in a lemon.
posted by shoepal at 9:15 PM on April 13, 2005

And now the anti-scurvy types are forcing lemon in our pepsi and lime in our coke. Where will the C-opression end?

oh my goodness-I HAD scurvy once, or at least the beginning stages. My Dr. was all freaked out as was I. This brings me back...good times.

I just found out about pro-anorexia sites from this comment in the Andrea Dworkin thread. I think I should be glad there are detailed parody sites, too, but, you know, I'm not sure I can tell the difference.

Oh well. At least I can still marvel at what the Web offers.

Of course, in truly machiavelian fashion, all this scurvy shit could be just a really clever viral campaign on the part of the citrus lobby.

Screw scurvy. This is what to have. Mmmm. Gimme another ear of corn!
This post isn't funny in the least; it deserves a wet friggin blanket if anything.
