Posts Tagged ‘legitimate complaint’

I feel like women are constantly told two messages:
1. Be happy with who you are
2. Make yourself better

I was in a basic nutrition and exercise class that spent the whole class talking about how to improve our health. Then a person from the counseling center came in to talk about how you need to be happy with your body the way it is. That doesn’t make any sense to me. Isn’t it okay to be unhappy with who you are if you are hurting yourself? People complain about the diet industry’s multimillion dollar profits made off of people’s insecurities but doesn’t say anything about the multiBILLION dollar fast food business killing people with their products. Is this a legitimate complaint? I’m really confused.
