I totally agree Kevin, women should not look breakable!!! There is a fine line now-a-days between eating disorder and what is exceptable in Hollywood. As an expectant father my biggest fear is to having a daughter who believes that everything put out there on T.V. or in magazines is what she is expected to look like. Now I know that as a father it will be my job to make sure her psyche isn't broken by these unreal images, but it is still a fear that I am sure many parents have. Now I understand that being obese isn't healthy, but I don't think we are even talking about being considerably overweight here. Just a little meat on the bones in Hollywood seems to be a bad things. Have you ever caught a glimpse of America's Next Top Model. A girl who wears over a size 6 is considered to be "Plus-Size." I get that that is just part of the fashion world and sample sizes and blah blah blah, but it is sending a terrible message to women world wide. Hopefully someday photogphers, movie makers and those in the media world will come to the realization that they suddenly set the example for what is considered beautiful and really should think about taking that role a little more seriously than what they do.
