Episode 3 of “The Men Who Made Us Thin” aired on BB2 recently and examined the weight loss industry. The lengths that people will go to in order to lose weight rather than choosing to Eat Clean and Train Smart Not Hard is scary. What I found even more disturbing however was the revelation albeit not surprising that some celebrities actually orchestrate their weight gain and loss for publicity. Not only is this dangerous for their own health it is highly irresponsible as many young people look up to these celebrities. This is particularly disturbing because of the celebrity worship culture that we live in today and I believe it is a major contributor to the body image problems that we face as a society.
