I was watching the first part of this programme yesterday evening and could not believe that these seven/eight year old girls are quite bothered about their weight! I mean, they are still young and shouldn't need to! To me, the girls looked average although some looked quite slim. But when doing a experiment, they associated 'fat' girls as being unintelligent and nasty, according to one girl!

When I was growing up in my youth, I never worried about my weight and my parents always encouraged us to eat plenty and I was about average size. But then of course I did worry after I was about 14 when puberty kicked in and I saw some boys as not just friends anymore! 8|

Funny how times have changed and it is all thanks to the media who are influencing the young girls, associating stick thin means you are gorgeous, clever and more likey to attract the opposite of sex! :crazy:

And also, in the same experiment, boys were not bothered about their weight and that they are less likey to achieve academically which I also think is quite untrue! Most of the men I know are pretty clever like my father, other half and brother. Hopefully my son will be too! :yes:
