I watched this last night and I was shocked at how young kids are now developing bad body images. It was so sad to hear lil kids saying that the fat lady in the pic wouldn't have many friends because she was fat. The body art and BDD I could relate too, but the kids bit really got to me. What on earth are we teaching our next generation ?

Who knows hun, i often wonder if we're smothing ourselves in laws and social divides but it seems to be snowballing at a scary rate! I really hope the bad bits crash and burn soon!
I dread to think of the headlines in a few years time.

I watched this last night, it was very good. Fascinating how they believe girls have a view on what body image should be like by the age of 6 and then in their teens they internalise those beliefs and apply them to themselves. Well worth watching.
