Boys after unattainable body image

[War Horse]

15. Charles Atlas is hardly an "unattainable body image"

What a weird thing to include in an article. That's a pretty healthy, old school look for kids to try to obtain. Nothing wrong with lifting weights, trying to get bigger and stronger and using supps. The problem is that kids think supps are a replacement for real food, and at the same time freaking out if they don't have an 8-pack on their skinny frames while barely subsisting on a 1000 kcal diet as they try to build muscle while simultaneously running twice per day. That's where the body image madness comes in.

The six percent who have used steroids is a very, very real concern. I see too damned much of it. Using 'protein supplements' and 'steroids' in the same sentence does nothing to address that problem, though. Quite the contrary, sadly.
