If there is one thing that is making every individual juggle around is the way the whole fashion industry is portraying models and making every normal individual feel fat. Every day we are surrounded by various advertisements, television shows, billboards and magazines that illustrate stunning models with stunning figures. And surprisingly, studies show that there is a deep relationship between the fashion industry and eating disorders. This drive for thinness is the result of television viewing and body dissatisfaction.
Various fashion critics, researchers, academicians and dieticians such as Samantha Brown, Kelly Richardson, Katie Dunlins and Dheeraj Bojwani review that the fashion industry has to understand that not every individual is six-foot and size 0 to 4. The common man is bombarded with the images of models with long and toned legs, tiny waist, full lips and flat breasts. These models are looked upon by women of today as being sexy and beautiful. Also, these models set the trends for all women worldwide to be super thin, according to researchers and academicians like Kelly Richardson, Katie Dunlins and Dheeraj Bojwani review.
Waif like models and super thin celebrities send a precarious message about eating disorders to common women and teenagers. Therefore, it is no wonder that eating disorders such as anorexia, binge-eating disorder and bulimia nervosa are affecting approximately 7 million women and 1 million men in the United States alone. Concurring to this study, dieticians, gym instructors, researchers like Katie Dunlins, Richard Harrison and Dheeraj Bojwani review that exposure to ultra thinness promoting media and models, significantly forecast the symptoms of eating disorders. There are women, who are affected with uncontrollable binge eating and then irrepressible purging of calories through vomiting, excessive exercise, and other methods. In an endeavor to stay thin, eating disorders can sometimes prove fatal.
In a culture where the public is bombarded with emaciated images, it is all the way resulting in developing a negative body image. People no more feel confident about the way they look and are continuously dwelling in the danger of depression and dejection.
This inflicts a question for all those who are portraying the super thin image that “is being beautiful really worth it?”
