Oh, I don't know that I'd call it baffling. After all, we do live in a very image driven society. It's a society that rewards those who suffer from disordered eating, as long as it's the right kind.

One of these days we might, as a society, get the whole "beauty is only skin deep" thing. Maybe hearing over and over again that people's insides don't always match our outside perception of them will help.

You noticed that too! I was going to put up a post about that very thing and you beat me to it. But then again, I'm been super busy.

BTW, your posts are now in bright yellow for me so that I don't miss them.

I thought I was going to be blue because of my blue-candy hate. :)
