A Pro-Ana Madonna?

By 3:52 PM , , , ,


Madonna has just started her world tour and she’s immediately attracted criticism for her claims, reported in the Daily Mail, about how she keeps her body toned: "I’m addicted to laxatives and energy drinks." It’s a puzzling thing to say given that anorexia is seen as the illness of our times. A rock star’s diet is not one to take as an example.

A new type of "natural" energy drink, a mixture of laxative vegetable products with added vitamins, has become hugely popular in America. The ingredients in Lady Ciccone’s elixir of eternal youth include miso, tempeh, seaweed, soya seeds and Komucha tea.

It’s a strict dietary regime and, clearly, not one to imitate: a rock star’s diet is often overseen by doctors and includes foods to counteract the exhaustion created by the tour.
