They are all caught up in the "fat is unhealthy" and "thin is healthy" mentality. <BR/><BR/>It's just not that black and white. With self-esteem, body acceptance, eating disorders and weight there is so much grey in so many shades. <BR/><BR/>We should be teaching children to love their bodies as they are.
