Another *-orexia?

I was flipping through (my five) channels and landed on a Geraldo commercial. Next on Geraldo, he'll be covering the new epidemic of Tanorexia.

Tanorexia?

TAN-O-REXIA?!

And it's an epidemic????

It's like every day I hear of a different new disorder/illness/ailment/affliction. Do they just pop out of nowhere? Yeah, I know, they just put a name to something that hasn't been defined yet. But some of them just sound absurd!

What baffles me even more is the thought that the young people that tan themselves to tanorexia tend to be tan-cist (y'know, discriminate against people with a natural tan). Is it all just pure jealousy?

Probably.
