Toothpick Trouble


I honestly find this advertisement to be quite disturbing to look at. How could a girl honestly be comfortable being this sickly looking? I find anorexia and bulimia hard to understand.

How can Ralph Lauren honestly try and make young women think that this is what they are suppose to look like?

Honestly, this girl in the picture to the right looks like she has barely survived the holocaust. Personally, I don't find this woman the least bit attractive.

As a society we need to keep each other in check and better weed this kind of garbage out of the media so we don't hurt anymore girls.

I will leave this topic with some stunning round about numbers. About 75,000 new cases of anorexics/bulimia are recorded in the US every year. There are only 300 million people in the US. Approx. 150 million are women.

75,000/150 million women are diagnosed with an eating disorder every year. Unbelievable. Something has to change and it should start with the entire media.
