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?
Which British song sums up the 1960s for you?
