popular culture #3

You're looking at a billboard on the side of the road and you see this beautiful model and you think to yourself that she is one of the most beautiful woman you have ever seen and you envy every thing about her, but in reality everything that you see on that billboard has been completely change, cropped and edited. That girl that you envy on the billboard doesn't exist. So what are young girls suppose to think that when they see a picture of a pretty girl and realize that nobody looks like that, nobody is that pretty. It's the same for celebrities in magazines, in person they could be a size 5 and a medium but when you see them on the cover of a magazine they are a size 0 and an extra small. I find this to be odd and unnecessary. Everybody is so wrapped up in wanting to be perfect looking that they take such drastic unhealthy measures. I think that everybody needs to love themselves in their own bodies and if you don't you need to take the healthy rout and eat healthy and exercise. Starving yourself and making yourself puke are the wrong answers.

  1. Is there a possibility of a person loving his or her own body without "eating healthy and exercising"? For example, loving oneself wihtout worrying about what you look like?
