Interesting pic of Tess - good for her on challenging stereotypes....is it healthy though?
I've just returned from 5 (utterly bonkers) years working in Asia, including family visits to Australia. In Asia I felt as big as the back of a bus, whilst here in the UK and in Australia I feel intoxicatingly slim...! The doctors in Asia seem to use a different BMI rating. I guess that's more suitable for the Asian body types. Interesting.
I think the person who commented that beauty is more to do with what's inside than how we look had a good point, especially in this ageist, fattist culture we live in, which seems to promote a curiously obsessive image awareness, whilst claiming to purport healthy living.
Would we all be healthier if the media was less sensationalist and more objective?
