Conclusion |
|
"Perfect" body image is very important for
many women living in media based societies, but most
recently a shift has taken place within our culture where
getting healthy is important in achieving and maintaining a
"perfect body." Most recently, the famous singer/actress
Queen Latifah
has signed on with
Weight Watchers to create a plan where
eating healthy and exercise were a main priority and not
just losing weight to be skinny. This is important because
women and young girls can look up to her as an important
role model, which is very different from many of the young
celebrities illustrated everyday in magazines, on television
and on the Internet.
