i am reading this thread, and by the end of page 1 we were well into the whole discussion of how the media promotes an unhealthy self image for girls, the role of the fashion houses in this injustice, how the model figure is unrealistic and nonfeminine, embrace your 'natural' (meaning fat) body, etc.

No one here is attacking slender women. Although, I would like to point out that from a medical point of view it's unhealthy to fall bellow a BMI of 19/18.5 (information seems to vary here). The vast majority of the population has a BMI of over 19/18.5, this does not make them unhealthy (in fact up until... BMI 25 they are theoretically more healthy than someone with a BMI of under 18.5.) |
