Let them eat cake worked... for a while.
...last Tuesday, as my father and I picked out the grave site for my dear, departed mother, the cemetary owner began relating how so many of his recent clients were becoming clients due to their succumbing from-of all things-sleep apnea. He went on to tell us how he had one man of 41 years of age and another-and this was most astounding-of only 21! And both of these were buried within the last 3 months! From what he was told, everyday stress is the biggest contributor to this deadly malady.
Weight is now viewed as a “class thing.” Thin is rich and obese is poor.
And yes, there are exceptions to the rule — so please don’t answer with pictures of fat rich people.
But ... but ... at least they’re not obese!
The issue is the ‘ideal’ that women are given is so narrow that now only 6% of the female population can be that size ‘naturally’ without extremes in diet, purging, surgery etc. It used to be a size 8 was considered small (remember the 5 7 9 Shops for “small sizes”?)
Now watch a diet commercial and you’ll see attractive size 10 women bragging about how they are now a size 2!!!?!? It’s insane!!!
The other extreme is that now even normal women are mocked, ridiculed and called cows. Think of Britteny being called ‘fat’ at her last performance. Or some guy here who said the Vonage ad had a fat cow in it. I saw the woman, she’s normal!
Even hips are considered a bad thing....so you have to not only add in an eating disorder to get rid of your hips, but add in silcone boobs to make up for what you’ve starved off.
Movies now have women so small that they look like 12 year old girls in their mom’s clothes. It’s a mad mad world.
So, honestly, this is no surprise. 94% of the female population is being told they are ugly, fat, disgusting cows by the media, forums, friends and yes, posts here.
I thought everybody was getting too fat. Somebody needs to decide what crisis is happening.
