This raises a very important issue with the images typically presented in marketing and media that lead young ladies to have self esteem issues. Whether we own it or not there is conclusive evidence that our beliefs are affected by the things we choose to watch. It is my opinion that there should be more pressure on the media and advertisers to promote using healthy images of all body types.
