'Manorexia' on the rise? Is it so they can fit into skinny jeans? (pg. 62)
Posted by Staff

The Daily Mail reports:

The pressure to look like a male model is driving more men to develop dangerous eating disorders, experts warned today.

GPs have been warned to be on the lookout for the potentially fatal conditions, which include anorexia and bulimia, after a rise in the number of those affected.

Men may be reluctant to admit they have a problem as the issue has until now been seen as something affecting mainly teenage girls.

Medical experts blame the surge on an obsession with looking good by having bulging biceps and a six-pack stomach.
