While there has been lots of media coverage and press about young girls/women regarding body image & eating disorders, there has been very little devoted to how the media effects boys.
In many cases, boys are an understudied group with regard to body issues (dysmorphia, bigorexia).
Even as the media continues its obsession for the almighty 'six pack', boys have been gaining on girls in eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
This commercial isn't real, but neither are society's standards of beauty.
