'Manorexia'--from Lor Yang via Robin


Making a positive change out of Iseblle Cora in Italy was a great thing, but the real problem is in the US.  I see that there are lots and lots of models (both male and female) that are advertised who are in shape, sexy, hot, etc.  Anorexia is just not a female thing.  Anorexia is seen in male also and classified as "Manorexia".  There's a video on youtube about Jeremy Gillitzer, a model who was fit and decided to later died at the age of 38 due to anorexia (link provided below).  This video is very much related to Isabelle but instead in the US.  So what's the message?  Anorexia is not just a female health hazard, but also seen in male at times.  It is influenced by the media and this is the main source/cause of anorexia.  The media's exceptation of how someone should look like.
