In any society, Doesn't it come to a deeper level that you can not blame the beauty industry or the consumerist society? I think you can only blame that to a certain point, the fact is, that studies suggest good looks are ingrained much deeper into our very human psyche than most know.
(for instance, studies have shown that babies respond more positively to attractive faces and look away from those most of us consider to be unattractive.)

Maybe it also has something to do with the evolutionary idea that people want to be around other people who are vibrant and healthy, so they don't get sick or catch disease themselves. And our basis for attractiveness is on health, really (i.e. shiny hair, curves in the right places but not overweight, skin lightly sunned, toned muscles, youthful and healthy appearance, etc.).

I hear you, but I also think that the industry exploits those insticts and uses them to sway us emotionally just to basically sell, sell, sell!
