Contrary to your beliefs, anorexia isn't actually something you want to get. Do you really a mental condition? Because, at the end of the day, that's what it is. Do you really want to be walking through town with friends, feeling fantastic, and then see yourself in a shop window, and feel like complete crap? Do you want to spend nights laying in bed, hunger killing you, but the fear of eating is too much of a risk to put yourself out of your misery? Do you want to have the burden of calculating the calorie content of anything that passes through your lips? Do you want to endure suspicious comments about eating/exercise habits from parents/friends? Do you want several hours of absolute revulsion when you eat something that people free from anorexia eat on a daily basis? I could go on, I really could go on, but I won't.
Conclusion: You obviously know from the media that anorexia is one of the most deadly mental conditions in the world. Try to be mature, and not throw comments like that around, because while they may seem harmless to you, I can pretty much guarantee that they would really hurt someone who has, or has been effected by the condition.
