However, there exist a peak where revolution starts and I think this is what is happening with females at the moment. they are too stressed to maintain or try to achieve such a low BMI which the media is promoting so they started to revolutionize......they now prefer a higher BMI . what will happen next will be in my opinion that the media will start to pick the message and will adopt a different model of the "ideal" female body. Hope this is clear.Besharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548338606516870785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-64683920695858146732012-12-03T01:12:13.982+02:002012-12-03T01:12:13.982+02:00Maybe the moral is that magazines sell us what we ...Maybe the moral is that magazines sell us what we want, because it's a lot easier than trying to make us want something different?
