With all the semi-recent news about models being banned from fashion shows across Europe for being underweight and potentially affecting young girls' images of themselves, it's natural to assume that the obsession with being thin is a female-only problem. However, medical researchers are discovering that the idea of starving oneself in order to achieve the perfect "thin" body has spread to the male population.

According to a feature story by ABC News, the American Journal of Psychiatry reports that "the ratio of males suffering from eating disorders may be increasing...experts estimate that 1 million American men suffer from anorexia." It's certainly understandable that young girls were being bombarded by rail-thin models in fashion magazines and celebrities, but apparently the same sort of things applies to boys and men who are becoming increasingly aware of physique because of sports, the rising number of men's fashion magazines, and super-thin male celebrities like Billy Bob Thornton.

Hey, men, I don't think I'm alone in thinking that I like men to look like big, strong men, not skeletons. Eat healthy, okay?
