Hunger as Ideology
In Hunger as Ideology, Susan Bordo talks about women and their obssesions with being an “ideal weight”. Todays society makes me sick. The media and press potray the “perfect woman” to be very thin. Woman then become obssesed with this image and try to imitate it in such a way that is extremely unhealthy and dangerous to your body. Susan discovers the roots of eating disorders and distorted body images. While women gain this eating disorder, they feel that it is working and they are becoming more beautiful. Meanwhile they are breaking down their body and becoming ill. No matter how tall, short, thin or heavy you are your body was given to you, you should love it. You do not need to be thin to be perfect. Our society needs to learn to except everybody for who they are and not judge by looks.

I completly agree with you. Everyone should learnt o love their bodies the way they and our society needs to leart how to except everyone for who they are. I would be hard for a whole society to change it views on how people look though because they already have the idea of how a women or a man should look.
