1 in 5 men unhappy with their body; should be MORE

According to a BBC report recently, 1 in 5 men are "deeply unhappy" with their body image. 

This is deeply unhappy and disturbing news! 2/3rds of men in this country are overweight or obese. And yet only 1/5th of men are deeply unhappy about it? Thats disgraceful. We should be seeing at least 2/3rds of men "deeply unhappy" with their disgusting, diseased bodies!

According to Dr John Morgan, the number of men with eating disorders is higher than official figures suggest. This is good news; but its still clearly not high enough! We clearly need to learn how to harness the power of the eating disorder and pass it on to MORE men. 

Dr Morgan also states "There are men who have problems with compulsive exercise and excessive bodybuilding...". Again, the majority of men would benefit from having such a 'problem'. And maybe if we could give this 'problem' to a much larger proportion of the male population then we wouldnt have the REAL health 'problems' currently straining our medical system.

The media is apparently doing a good job of pressuring men to be slim; almost as much pressure as that given to women. Again, this is a good start but is clearly still not enough given obesity statistics. I say, no more TV shows with fat, ugly people! I mean, who cares about the problems of fat, ugly people anyway? Other than fat, ugly people who need to look in the mirror and fix themselves!

Bottom line is: 1 in 5 men 'get it'. Which means 4 in 5 men need to take a damn hard look at themselves and realise that they are disgusting! From there the advice is to read every issue of GQ magazine and only watch Brad Pitt movies so that you can develop an eating disorder, exercise compulsively and FIX YOUR FAT-SELF UP!
