"This photo is a health hazard"
All commercial pictures are digitally enhanced these days, but when bodies (especially women's) are so shaped & distorted in Photoshop, are we now looking at a public health problem. Related to this is the use of under-age models, eg teens wearing maturer styles, family women too young for "their" children. Because it's everywhere, it creates an unrealistic image for people.
Is there a problem with the portrayal of women in media, & should we do something about it?
Do you agree there is a health issue with the portrayal of women & girls?
What should we do about altered body images?
Celebrities make a fortune promoting galmour. Do they have a responsibility here?
What should they do?
