Eating fast food is not cheaper than eating healthy. Check, oh I don't know, every study that's ever been done about the topic.

i was thinking processed foods in general vs. fresh food - isn't fresh more expensive?

They really should not be encouraging this

11/20/2011 7:31:49 PM

^ why?

11/20/2011 7:53:13 PM

they look like normal, healthy adult women bodies to me

11/20/2011 7:58:24 PM

maybe expecting this?

11/20/2011 8:34:25 PM

they look like normal perhaps not quite as typical, healthy adult women bodies to me

11/20/2011 8:41:30 PM

I don't think women in underwear is appropriate for this thread.

11/20/2011 10:32:56 PM

You're right. Those underwear have gotta go.

11/20/2011 11:24:29 PM

We should be encouraging this

"I think most of the ones that people think are hot are just in shape. I just don't see a widespread culture of physical unobtainium in the bodies of our celebrities. I see a bunch of fat slobs walking down the street, in the mall, and most of all, in the grocery store, and I think that we've gotten so used to it that it's remarkable when someone is actually in good shape."

"not everyone has the same body type, you can be an endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph or have other genetic factors, so your formula won't necessarily make everyone look like a celebrity (but it would make everyone healthy)"

America is obsessed with images. We need to change our focus from looks to health. Not everyone who is in good shape looks like a Reetone ad. For example, take Lynne Cox, a long distance swimmer. She is an amazing athlete - an English Channel record holder and first person to swim the entire Strait of Magellan. I bet TWW would say she's an out of shape fattie though



Obviously she's not a typical example. My point is that most American women are comparing themselves to a fictional standard of health. Of course America needs to shape up, but we don't have to look like this to be "in shape"

11/27/2011 10:28:02 PM

No, of course not, but let's not demonize that standard.

11/27/2011 11:19:20 PM

i think it would be beneficial to actively de-emphasize it though

^^^ good post
