The shape of things

Walking around the (incredibly busy) Cherry Creek mall, I'm struck by
a dissonanace in the American views of beauty and physical health.

On the one hand we are the heaviest nation in the world. As Dr. Oz on
Oprah discussed, the generation of children today is predicted to be
the first in our history to have a shorter lifespan than their
parents.

As a nation we are dangerously overweight, consuming foods that could
best be described as sh*#. Over processed, sodium laden, high fructose
corn syrup infused crap. Like our addiction to instant gratification,
we like foods which give an immediate rush. Overtime, that leads to
HBP, diabetes, and more

On the other hand we have uber-skinny models. The .5% skiiniest women
in America all seem to have made their way to New York's runways. It
is wonderful if a woman has a small frame for her to be thin, but that
is not the only kind of beautiful.

What a dissonance...there is much confusion I our society about what
beauty is, this is just one example on my mind...
