It is truly scary that we think that that is healthy and how we/she should look. At any age, if she was not a model, she would be seeing a shrink and probably checked into some hospital specializing in eating disorders. Most girls will never be satisfied with how they look. The outsides of that pictured girl are condemning the insides of my daughter. As Lynn said, "My god, that woman is scary looking. SCARY SCARY." </p> <p>I think it is also interesting that google ads picked up on the topic and is displaying ads about anorexia and help. In the Extreme Exercise post ads are about getting in shape, loosing weight... Clearly, a lot of people think it is bad to be that thin and the very people that use this kind of advertising are using it to advertise help for this problem. What a cyclical evolution they have created. Look at her. She is what we all should desire to have or become, but if we do become we must be sick and therefore need the help for our anorexia...
