A Distorted Reality.

I make no secret of my certain predilection towards a desire to be skinny, and it’s definitely not something that I’m embarrassed or ashamed of in any way. However, I think that there are certain limits and excesses which can be considered completely, frankly, ridiculous. I was reading through my emails and I found an advert for a website concerned with the review and sale of diet pills - pills which are generally unproven in their effects and most likely to be found to be harmful in some manner after their sale. I think that our culture does set certain types of people up for exploitation by those who would seek to ‘beautify’ them into our gorgeous ideal of jutting hips and exposed ribs - but this would be a problem to be solved through education rather than legislation on advertisement.
