so much trouble now at the moment with social media and young girls and young boys be it orthorexia or anorexia and this is the message they're getting it's coming back in and it's not even insidious anymore blatant Casey mentioned somebody telling her she should go on Monjaro the prevalence of skinny jobs has that made everything worse that people now there's an added thing of why aren't you doing it
