E-Media 1-Heat magazine article

"We're skinny-get over it" is the first thing i saw when i looked at the front cover of heat magazine a couple of weeks ago. Almost every magazine you read now seems to be covered with pictures of tiny celebrities telling everyone how they got so skinny, or that skinny is their natural frame. But if this world is so determined to help people with eating disorders and stop them, then shouldn't think about who they put on the front cover of these magazines. Teenagers get confused because you see articles in magazines saying how to drop a dress size in 2 days or something ridiculous like that, but then if you watch like Gok Wan's programmes, you'll have him saying how everyone is different and to embrace your body shape. It seems like no one really knows what they want, surely people should stop highlighting the obvious amounts of skinny celebrities and focus on showing different body shapes and having fuller women on the covers of magazines. But at the end of the day, who actually cares how skinny celebrities are and what they eat for breakfast. Everyone seems to thrive off the knowledge that some celebrity has put on weight and that makes them feel better, when really it shouldnt. I don't agree that magazines should make you feel bad about your body shape, but maybe some people don't realise the effects of adverts or articles they print ; Which is why i found that Alisha Dixon programme so interesting because these young children were saying it was a good thing that they weren't fat. I think the caption on the magazine was right, get over it, there'll only be someone else on the front cover next week!
