There is a huge ordeal about pictures taken of Jennifer Love Hewitt on the beach celebrating her new engagement. They say the fact that she is being called fat is a sign of problems in how society causes body image problems.
While I think its a sign of a problem, I don't think its body image.
Its America's diet. There is no way she could be eating healthy and exercising and look like that. America is probably near the fattest, laziest, and most unhealthy country in the world.
Honestly - I think she looks awful in those pictures.
While you should take pride in your body, I don't think eating whatever you want and fooling yourself into thinking its fine and normal is not healthy. It will lead to huge problems later in life. I'd like to see her go vegetarian or even vegan and go to a gym two to three times a week and see how much better she not only looks but feels. My guess would be she wouldn't be eager to go back to how she was because she loves her body no matter what it looks like.
She says she is a size two, which is not fat. While a size two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, or fourteen is not fat in my opinion, I think she is a liar. I'm a size four and could not see the woman in those pictures getting into my clothes. You can be a larger size but still be healthy. If your adult frame is capable of a size two but suddenly you've become a size ten without having children, you are not healthy.
Maybe I'm being too insensitve here but I just don't think being fat should be any more okay than it is already - not because of appearance and vanity but because of the health of the entire country. Should we really raise kids to think that being fat is okay or is that just setting them up for self-destruction? If superficial reasons are the only reason people will take care of themselves, then maybe they're doing some good.

I did stand up for Britney; I didn't feel she looked fat on the vma's. We know she isn't very healthy with all of the drive-thru photo ops we see of her. Then again we also know about her liposuction and other work. Regardless of what is fat, which I guess is in the eye of the beholder - I think healthy should be the main point of discussion.
What do you think about body image and health in the United States?

Are vanity and envy sins or do they serve an evolutionary function?
