"Men are the new women," Stanford Daily columnist Darren Franich declares today in an interesting column that may mean we'll have to keep checking in with this guy in the future. Apparently his decision began with a recent gain of 15 pounds that he blames on drinking too much Dr. Pepper, which he traces back to his "bio-rhythms," for which he blames his "Fuzzy Profs." It finally all adds up to a bad case of "Manorexia." OK, so the argument is a little hard to follow. But that's his point: He's going completely insane, distrusting his natural urge to drink Dr. Pepper! Anyway, his description of pro-anorexia websites (creepy) makes Franich worth checking out.
