  • People unhappy about their bodies can develop eating disorders, turn to diet pills or steroids, or try cosmetic surgery and Botox injections.
  • One study found that one in four people is depressed about their body, another found that almost a third of women say they would sacrifice a year of life to achieve the ideal body weight and shape, and almost half of girls in a recent survey think the pressure to look good is the worst part of being female.
  • One study reported on girls aged 5 to 7 who, when exposed to images of thin dolls like Barbie, said they wanted to look thinner compared with those who saw dolls with a healthier body shape.

  • From children's toys to TV programs, images of the idealized body have permeated every level of our visual culture.
  • advertising media have distorted our perception of beauty.
  • everyone has the right, whatever their size, shape or form, to feel happy about themselves. A diversity of body shapes and sizes needs to be included in magazines, advertising and broadcasts and on the catwalk -- something our campaign partners All Walks Beyond the Catwalk have successfully been promoting.
  • body confidence lessons in schools.
  • they are ignoring what is, in fact, a growing public health problem.

  • Researchers say many studies have shown how images of beautiful, Barbie-like models negatively affect women's self-esteem, but this study is among the first to look at how a "culture of muscularity" may affect men's self-esteem.
  • The level of muscularity and attractiveness that are idealized in the media often are not attainable for the average man," says researcher Stacey Tantleff-Dunn, professor of psychology at the University of Central Florida.
  • Such discrepancies can cause the dissatisfaction and low self-esteem that lead to extreme and often unhealthy actions, such as eating disorders, exercising too much, and steroid abuse
