I don't think the fact that it was just a hoax makes it OK for him to do it. If people were taking him seriously then it could have done a lot of harm already. Anorexia is curable but it doesn't go away just like that. It's not like a sufferer can think "Oh it's OK, it was just a hoax, I don't have to starve myself".

An interesting investigation, but hardly ethical. I'm still compelled to ask why he thought it was a good idea. :/
