Processed foods are a huge market and depend on pressuring consumers into becoming larger and hooking them on their high sugar content. Discrimination just leads these consumers deeper down into the vicious cycle so in turn they go out and eat, and fitness junkies are sold the idea that being oveweight is disgusting so they go out and consume voraciously from a complete different market. Any media that promotes discrimination and deludes people from accepting and loving who they are merely represents the hidden agenda of corporations that want to force you into massive consumption of what they are selling. It takes more than an average educated mind to see the paradox here yet take a stand against tactics of such vile nature. Soon enough they will be selling us drugs to forget how they traumatized us in the first place and the snake will bite its tail again.

I don't think it holds true outside of the U.S. bubble, though. In many (most?) other countries--"developed," "developing" and "third world"-- extreme thinness is directly related to poverty. Hey man,
It’s an interesting theory (the thin=health=wealth=power equation). I don’t think it holds true outside of the U.S. bubble, though. In many (most?) other countries–”developed,” “developing” and “third world”– extreme thinness is directly related to poverty.
