Obesity

America has become a society obsessed with appearance, especially weight. We are conditioned at a young age to believe the only way to be normal is to be thin. This norm is projected to millions of Americans each day through television, magazines, billboards and every other form of media and advertising. How are people to know acceptance and happiness with themselves and others when our culture propagates what the perfect body should be. It is …

…yourself and you want a healthier body. I think this is the most important thing I have finally learned about life and about myself. I hope that in the future there will be a time when people are not judged by their appearance, therefore those that think a different body will make them happy, will finally be able to be believe their worth is based on who they are and not what they look like.
