So this is my community, and it's both happy and sad at the same time. It's intended to move you. Poetry, musings, photos, art.... whatever elicits a feeling too strong to ignore. Welcome.

No doubt women's magazines sell these headlines in their attempts to market products, especially given the significant amount of Photoshopped models (excluding Verily). But we also shouldn't lose sight that, generally speaking, kids typically aren't being taught to eat healthy or exercise. Nearly 40% of children’s diets come from added sugars and unhealthy fats, and between 16 and 33 percent of children and adolescents are obese. So, while I agree adults need to be careful with messages that can harm self-esteem, I suggest caution on how far you take the interpretation of this image. Teaching kids to ignore the consequences of unhealthy lifestyles and how they look doesn't leave them any better off.
