Positive body image: Get it now

Rising above the influence of our plastic society is a worthwhile endeavor.  This should be taught in preschool, long before the learned guilt and snobbery of society can taint the well.  Self love and self respect are the result.

Why many women have a negative body image

Women are taught to have negative body images and our plastic society is responsible for much of this.  Appearances are everything and most people do not look beyond the surface.  Advertising, television, and photos of thin models in glossy magazines all glamorize thin women.  Little girls look for the glamour, the heels, the nail polish, the makeup, the jewelry, and the hair.  Advertisers can tell which women are self-confident and are drawn to that image.  Does having the hair, the makeup, etc. cause a woman to feel self-confident?  You bet it does!

Whose fault is childhood obesity?

Indulgence has been the name of the game for several generations.  This is the age of I want it, I am having it.  No waiting in this culture.  Television the great babysitter indoctrinates the children.  Buy this, buy that.  Eat this, eat that.  You do not have to wait for one single thing.  The age of entitlement is manifest.  And a pall passes over the land.
