I was watching the Tyra Show today, and the topic of the show was anorexia. Tyra started off the show discussing the picture that was recently in all the tabloids, and how everyone was calling her fat. She talked about how she felt about the picture, and gave a very nice speech. She also had a panel of different sized models, and had a guest who's struggling with anorexia. I remember last semester, in one of my classes, we were looking at statistics on the prevelance of anorexia in girls aged 11 and older. I was shocked to see that anorexia is growing at a rapid rate in girls as young as 11!!! I just wanted your thoughts on the issue of banning thin models, dove commercial campaign's, etc...is the media and society making a positive step towards change??? or is it just a thing of the moment? or are these efforts not even inciting change at all?? How does this affect you?? Any and all comments welcome :)
