Things are the same as ever: women/girls can't win. Between the "self acceptance at any size" message and the "you can never be too thin" message, the "be healthy" message gets muddled.
On the upside, so many more girls and young women are involved in all kinds of sports now. The winning U. S. women's soccer team is a case in point. I saw a picture in the newspaper this week of an 11-yr-old girl wearing her football pads. Whether it's athletic cheerleading or gymnastics or swimming or volleyball, etc. girls are no longer discouraged from exercising their competitive muscles.
I'm hoping information sources like That Sugar Movie (can't wait to see it!) will be a further eye-opener for everyone.
It's all about good health, not size.
