I was listening to the radio the other day and I heard a radio show about the correlation between tv and females body image. I found it interesting that there seems to be such a big correlation between the two. There is a much lower rate of body issues among women in countries that do not have tv. Not just that but in one country when tv made its debut in 1993 the rate of anorexia among women went from 0% in 1993 to 11% in 2009. This is shocking and scary. What can I do to protect my daughter from going through what I went through? The radio program suggests that you limit the amount of television that you and your kids watch so as to deter the effects. Whose to say that they wont get it else where, like walking down the halls at school, watching a movie, reading a book or magazine. These images are everywhere. How do we escape?
