The Week Trending - Instagram Accused Of Fuelling Clean Eating Disorder

Social media sites such as Instagram have been accused of fuelling a 'clean eating' disorder.

Brianna Parkins and Lorcan Nyhan discussed this story in The Week Trending. They also talked about the Krispy Kreme craze sweeping Ireland, the effects of the #MeToo movement on the workplace, the idea of employers granting mental health breaks, and Eric Cantona's bizarre award acceptance speech.
