What do you think that this obsession with perfect (meaning thin) body-line ? With diets, with kilos/pounds, measuring your weight every day and getting a nervous breakdown for any extra kilo?
It all started with "models". Then many women wanted to have perfect lines and look like the "models", so they endured even hunger and turned into skeletons with skin. Then it got the better of men as well, who are now on the average as obsessed with kilos nad line as women.
I am not talking here about the pathological obesity, which is rare and can be brought about by the disfunction of some glands. I am talking about the self-inflicted madness of many women and many men these days.
In some parts of the world there is a
reverse phenomenon.
