‼️🧐👉🏼So where is the representation of that "healthy body image" we are supposed to aspire to? At present, alongside the unrealistic anorexic mannequins, there are mannequins of overweight people. So side by side there are now two pathologies: anorexia and obesity; but where are those healthy body weight figures which they keep talking about when promoting health and a healthy body image?
Same with modelling: In addition to "standard" anorexic models, there is now a growing market for plus size models, but if a girl or a woman falls into the healthy middle ground between anorexia and overweightness, no one wants her, there just isn't a market, she either has to gain weight or lose weight to be in demand as a model. (--a model of what, then? -- definitely not health, either way!)
