It's all about body fascism...

It's all about body fascism... everyone should look like Venus or Adonis because that's what shallow people think of as 'normal'. We're all different... it would be a sad world if it was full of vain, self-absorbed humans who only cared about how they appeared to other humans.

I hate seeing results like this published in mass media.

I think the thought behind promoting such results may be "hopefully this encourages young people to lose weight to avoid problems later in life," but I think for many people there is a different effect. That is, "I screwed up when i was young, so no point in getting healthier now as there's nothing I can do."

Depression is a big problem with overweight people, and that feeling of inevitable health problems sure contributes to it. It's a vicious cycle......
