It’s a trend to prove you have thin thighs.

According to the New York Post on the 13th (local time), videos certifying ‘legginglegs’ have been uploaded one after another on social media recently. In the video, the women wear figure-revealing leggings and proudly show off the gap between their thighs. There are concerns that videos like these could encourage eating disorders as they reflect the desire for a slim body.
“The harm caused by social media algorithms cannot be ignored. They can provide content that is extremely harmful to health,” said the American Eating Disorders Coalition.
Catherine Cofford, a nutrition expert, also said on her personal SNS, “The ‘legion leg’ certification photo, which resurfaces the ‘thigh gaps’ of the 2000s, is becoming more popular,” and added, “Many of girls I knew in high school. I had gaps in my hip.” “I developed an eating disorder trying to create a gap in my life,” she said. The phenomenon of admiring an extremely thin body can lead to eating disorders and even cause emotional and cognitive problems. Experts said, “For the younger generation, the misconception can that a thin body is a pretty body sufficiently increases the risk,” and added, “Content promoting ‘legs’ or related to this should be banned.”
