Women and girls are bombarded with messages about thinness, ideals of
beauty, and ways to lose weight.

So you're fat, ugly, too lazy to do sports

The average woman sees hundreds of
commercials a week,

But you blame it on the media

and a Brigham and Women's Hospital study in 2000
found virtually all commercials aimed at girls and women focus on
physical attractiveness. A series of studies of media in 1986 led by
Brett Silverstein, Ph.D.

And you even get government money to spend on studies to prove it. Great!
