Kindly enjoy this video: ("I Love Lucy", 1951)

These women would be heifers according to today's Hollywood/modeling standards, including the late, great and shapely Lucille Ball. (Can you imagine, she had to diet to get "down" to size 12?)

We've made progress in a lot of ways but anorexia is not progressive. Uruguayan "supermodel" Luisel Ramos died at the age of 22, having consumed nothing but lettuce and Diet Coke for three months. Her younger sister and fellow model Iliana died just six months later of a heart attack on 14. February, 2007. Ana Carolina Reston, dead of kidney failure due to anorexia, 11/15/06.

This world is turning women against their own bodies because of an unchallenged pop culture. ENOUGH.
