Titolo: CONTRO LE DIETE MIRACOLOSE

Ciao a tutti, vorrei sapere la vostra opinione su questo argomento:che ne
pensate del continuo bombardamento che ci riservano televisione e giornali
per il raggiungimento dell' agognato peso forma?Non pensate che questa
assurda ricerca della perfezione non faccia altro che aumentare il numero di
malati di anoressia e bulimia?Perchč nessuno scrive di come sia piů
importante essere se stessi senza omologarsi agli stupidi canoni della
moda?Aspetto risposte.Ciao a tutti.Giň.

 moda?
Perché? Secondo me perché non si tratterebbe di una presa di posizione
"commercialmente utile": mentre le pubblicità di diete miracolose e corpi da
favola spingono all'acquisto di certi prodotti, una trasmissione/pubblicità
sul valore della persona in quanto tale, indipendentemente dal suo corpo,
non sarebbe conveniente per nessuno. Non escudo che un tentativo in questa
direzione possa essere stato fatto, ma, se pure è stato o sarà fatto,
passerà praticamente inosservato dalle masse bombardate da migliaia di spot
di tipo opposti...

UK Panel Calls for Media to End Pressure on Girls to Be Thin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

LONDON, Jun 22 (Reuters Health) - The UK Cabinet's Body Image Summit in
London has called for an end to unrealistic images of women in the press
that have contributed to a crisis in low self-esteem in girls in Britain,
according to Summit organizer and Minister for Women, Tessa Jowell.
The 2-hour round-table discussion resulted in four main recommendations from
the 45 members, including suggestions that the Broadcasting Standards
Commission should lay down image regulations.
The other recommendations include the call for a media-led body to promote
the need for a greater diversity of images of women, and the creation of an
organization for the study of eating disorders to examine the existing gaps
in research.
"But the Summit is intended to stimulate debate rather than to prescribe any
form of regulation," said Tessa Jowell. "There will be no single step to
break with the past."
Rebecca Martin from the women's magazine, Jump, who made recommendations at
the Summit said, 'We want to make fashion magazines normal. To include a
range of sizes." But some fashion editors are not supportive of the Summit's
objectives, with Elle magazine's editor, Fiona McIntosh, mocking Tessa
Jowell with the words in a recent editorial, "It seems Nanny Jowell is
considering implementing social policy".
The Summit was held following two Government programs last year, Listen Up
and Listening to Women Last which heard complaints from mothers and their
daughters about the pressure for women to be thin from a very early age.
The Summit comes a month after the publication of the British Medical
Associations' (BMA) "Eating Disorders, Body Image and the Media". According
to BMA spokesperson, Vivienne Nathanson, "Research has shown that girls with
low self-esteem at age 11 to 12 are at a greater risk of developing severe
signs of eating disorders and other psychological problems at age 15 to 17."
