Maybe you should learn how to establish causation before you blame all the problems of the world on pictures of thinness.

You mentioned Occam's Razor on another article. For starters, the obesity epidemic could be from what people eat, as opposed to some complex theory that boys and girls who see thin people, then feel inadequate and starve themselves, which then causes their body to instead rebound and become obese in mass hoards.

Isn't this issue something that's supposed to affect girls more than boys? Yet obesity is a problem for everyone. And in fact, studies show that people in thin Asian countries who migrate to the united states become fat, and that it's probably because of the food. Other studies show that American fast food is infiltrating thin cultures and making them fat.

What is more likely the explanation? And do you have millions of dollars to put into actually proving it with real research instead of flimsy correlations?

Weight loss rebound only happens to people who are fat already. It's not a problem that anorexics face.

Let's try to be logical here and try not to blame everything on thinness.

More people that don't know what a direct link is. Prove it with scientific proof, not speculation and guessing.

Is it the advertisers that are making boys less interested in anorexia and girls more, or is it that girls are more predisposed to be neurotic about their bodies and guys don't care because of the nature of how boys and girls are? Until you prove that regulating pretty will make girls hate themselves less, and that guys won't be competitive naturally without outside programming, you shouldn't be in charge of regulating stuff. What research I've heard was that girls have some serotonin thing that makes them anorexic or something. Not sure it's true, but nature is responsible for a lot of the way people behave and not advertisements.
