My reaction to "more than dolls" webpage is probably like everyone elses. No one is perfect and no one is going to look like barbie or GI JOE. Little innocent girls shouldn't be thinking that thats the only way they're going to be beautiful and thats how every single girl must look. Also, young boy toddlers shouldn't be raised thinking that they must have muscles to be attractive. Then again, being overweight is unhealthy, therefore I believe thats why they only make "skinny" dolls and action figures.
Ads everywhere today are about diet pills and loosing weight. I'm not against being healthy and working out, but I am against anorexic highschool and middleschoolers. If you're overweight and WANT to be on a diet, go for it. But if you only weigh 105 lbs, don't start taking diet pills to be a double digit rather than a triple digit.
In seventeen magazines, they always have a "fitness" section. http://www.seventeen.com/video/?c=HealthandFitness This website shows how to work out, not how to loose alot of weight. Today, body image is still an issue and will always be for insecure people. As i said above about diet ads everywhere, I believe thats the main reason for self-esteem issues.
