We covered that story the other day. My co worker and I cracked up. It was a slow news day, we followed that with a story about a new puppy day care opening.

It makes me wonder if being Art Director is really worth it. lol

They actually had a doctor on Good Morning America (or one of the big morning shows) to tell people about it!!!

How surprising, when society keeps telling them they're FAILURES AS HUMAN BEINGS.

I was listening to a doctor on the radio yesterday who said pretty much that, actually. o_O
I'm sure he meant to be motivational by talking about all the things we can do to help ourselves, but it came off as "If you don't try your hardest to be beautiful, people aren't going to like you."

It's true.

I suggest you take a look around at what is dubbed 'the fatosphere' for a little bit, though. It can be depressing to realise some things, but it's rather empowering when you bring all those messages you're being thrown at to a conscious level and hence being able to filter them out willingly!
