How Media Influence Eating Disorders Subtly
Media Influence Eating Disorders
Does media influence eating disorders? You bet!Remember, the best they try to sell to us is, "eat this and live forever."Or, "you are on your way to the grave on high speed unless you use this product."Are You Swallowing It All? Many swallow what the media says, hook, line and sinker. If it's on T.V., then it must be true. The result of this herd mentality is simple: Many rely on the said media for direction.How does the media get what to tell us? Always remember, they are paid to say whatever you hear or read from them.They are paid. The highest bidder gets the loudest trumpeting. The moment you stop paying, your product is dropped, and remains at the background, unsung. Thin=Perfect Beauty? The media tells us that slim is success, is admiration, wears the crown! So, unless you get that thin, you won't work the room as the celebrity they project does. Watch! She walks into a room full of girls and guys, but she gets all the attention. She is the sleekest, and the thinnest. Who doesn't want to be celebrated? I do, I don't know about you. But at what cost? The media doesn’t exactly tell us all she went through to gainacceptance for the advert. They don’t tell us all she goes throughto keep being in demand.So, yet another girl says she can achieve the same figure and even better.She goes on a starvation spree, inviting Anorexia! What Foods Do You Buy? Then, they portray some food items as foods for the smart, fast and loved. Check what the ingredients are before you buy. Like me in the past, you must have bought some of the foods. They encourage us to eat them to be wise. The more of it you eat, the wiser you become. Then you gobble them up. Eat more. And still go for more.What is Binge? You are defining it Already... |
