Weighty Matters

The throwaway sentence on curves is completely misleading. Curves are still desirable, just like they always have been. The body image women are after is actually one of emphasized curves- 34 C, 22, 32- than of all-over skinniness. This curvy image is not more common or realistic, so it's misleading to refer to it as hopeful.

seriously, just eat healthy and exercise at least an hour every day, thats all it takes-i swear. I am tired of fat people blaming their eating issues on the fashion industry, models aren't as publicized as celebrities. Sure they are in advertisements but they are no longer on the cover of magazines and the center of attention unless you follow the fashion industry as religiously as I do. So if you want to blame someone for your problems blame them and leave the fashion industry ALONE.

It's not necessarily that models are so much skinnier than the average woman now as opposed to twenty years ago. While it is true that models are, on average, skinnier than they used to be, the average American woman is heavier than they used to be. Now the average weight of an American woman is between 155 and 163 respectively and somehow we don't seem to have gotten any taller. Perhaps the difference between model and real live human female is a little bit that.

same ole tired article on how the fashion industry is. . . well, we all already know: the fashion industry is the sole cause of teenage girls' angst. Next they will publish an article on how it is causing your grandmother to commit suicide, your sons to become drug addicts, and your cat to become anorexic.
