We laze there stuffing our faces with junk, such as Oprah, 90210, Jersey Shore, American Idol, and the like. Sure, we also stuff our mouths with over-processed, under-nourished snack foods, but we stuff our minds with something that may be even worse.
Unrealistic ideals.
If TV (and other media) didn’t try so hard to portray skinny as the ultimate image, there would not be as many fat people.
