Hi, welcome to show. It's me, Cody, your vivacious and healthy newsboy. Here's some news.

I can taste blood right now. Cody, what is this? What did you do? I was skiing, which is something I love to do. And I was run over, but I can't legally say who I was run over by. But let's just say that it's a famous blonde actress with a health brand who was an Iron Man. Oh, no, Leslie, big brand you over. I always thought she was shifty. Okay. Get up.

Go on. I'll host the episode. Really? No. Is this a trick? Did you force my bandages? Oh, no tricks. Okay. I just say care about you. Go on off you go. Come on. Thank you. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Okay. You go on. You get out here. Yes. scale. Yeah. Walk away. Now, Katie's in control. You dwindle while I grow. Good morning, cuties. It's time to talk about the newsies. Normally, I'm only brought on to talk about quote, quote, woman issues like when we cover abortion.

So it's nice to have my very own episode without beard. Oh, involved. Yeah, I heard all of that. You can see me right here next to you. Hey, here's some news.

Getting the perfect beach. Bad for summer. Mother lover. Are you serious, bro? The one full episode. I hijacked. Okay. Okay. Then making lemonade, making lemonade.

Hi, everyone. Gosh, I am so happy to see you. And can I say you are looking great. Have your elbows lost mass? It's looking like your flesh is molecularly arranged in a way, pleasing to society's standard of a month and

Wow. Zah. Have you done something with your adipose tissue? But you know, you really should try this new diet and exercise regimen. It's proven to make your bones more supple and fuckable.

Don't you want fuckable bones? You see, while you may have thought that as there are 7.8 billion humans on earth, it might be okay for our corporeal bodies to be a variety of shapes and sizes. Well, according to social media algorithms, you're wrong.

There is actually only one correct human shape. And we here at some more news have gathered data across all social media platforms, run a statistical regression analysis and found the optimal human shape according to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Roblox. Okay. Are we ready? Running the analysis. And here it is.

Stunning. I love this look for her. Is this really the episode?

Our obsession with weights hurts everyone. Hey, okay. Yes, that's more like it. See, what we did there was a bit. Cody's not the only one who gets to do bits. Anywho, if you hadn't noticed, every day we are being flooded with content online and on television and billboards, all advertising health fitness.

And desirable body shapes, but also self confidence and body positivity, but also perfect skin, no cellulite and hey, also you should have high self esteem and love yourself. And aging is sort of cool, but not cellulite.

There are so many confusing contradictory messages about health and wellness and beauty and basically what you're supposed to do with the pounds of meat that is your human body. So that's the episode for today.

Fitness culture, fat shaming and the turd realm that is the internet. And besides it all being extremely confusing and mentally damaging, the thing people often don't mention about fitness culture and fat shaming

is that it's also extremely harmful for your physical health. It's bad on every level, all of it. And it's not limited to people who present as female. So this is not some quote on quote woman's issue. In fact, this hurts everyone. And while none of its new, the internet and social media specifically have made the problem extremely worse.

Facebook knows that they're the engagement based ranking, the way that they pick the content in Instagram for young users, for all users, amplifies preferences. And they have done something called a pro active, a proactive incident response where they say they take things that they've heard, for example, like, can you be led by the algorithms to anorexia content. And they have literally recreated that experiment themselves and confirmed, yes, this happens to people.

That is Francis Hagen or as Mark Zuckerberg's army of laser robots know her target acquired, who went on to explain that Facebook has actually done its own internal research and specifically found that their algorithm was increasing eating disorders, especially in teenage girls. They knew, but they did not care because money is very green and yachts don't just buy and staff themselves with exotic lemurs trained to be butlers.

Hagen attests that Facebook not only knows their algorithm leads to eating disorders, but Facebook has specifically been studying this phenomenon themselves, according to internal presentation slides obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Facebook's own research literally states 32% of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse.

And we make body image issues worse for one in three teen girls. What the documents and Hagen's testimony make clear is that when Facebook came across a conflict between stacks of cash and human people, it, according to Hagen, consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of their own profits.

And it's not just Facebook's own studies finding this connection. Researchers at multiple universities and in multiple studies have found that increased time spent on Facebook

is correlated with an increased incidence of negative body image and disordered eating. But hey, gotta keep those eyeballs on the screen and those fingers scrolling.
