Re: My 2p

Um Lex I think you're getting a bit tangled at the end there - while yes the people worst affected by the 'size zero' nonsense are probably the celebs themselves & eating disorders are about control, the continued portrayal of lasses (and blokes!) with perfect bodies really does make the majority of perfectly healthy women feel miserable about the way they look (not to the extent of acquiring an eating disorder, just constant dissatisfaction & comparison to this imaginary 'perfect' body). They still have to decide "how they want to look and feel" based on *something*!

You're OTM about the 'whore' thing though. So they're flashing for cash. So what? Good for them.
