Is bodybuilding becoming an obsession ?

[beatrix]

I have been seeing a growing obsession with young men who religiously go to gyms drink their protein shakes and sometimes even use drugs like steroids.
I think the action figure alpha male image is responsible for promoting such absurd larger than life standards of the human body. What are your thoughts ?

I think that it truly just comes down to each guy on a personal level.
It's very unfair to stereo type all, if any large amount of a gender without such given leniency. Statistical proof would be nice though, sources anyone ?
