The ideal of thinness has distorted how people view themselves today. The media has created a flawed idea of what women and men alike should strive for. It had led to an increase in eating disorders and distorted body image. The mortality rate of these extremely dangerous mental illnesses is at an all time high in recent years due to the obscure obsession with being thin. We need to bring back the idea that while being thin is acceptable; it is also ok to have a full healthy figure.
