Thank you for your thoughtful investigation.
Do you believe that capital market forces in the form of desire creation are primarily to blame for the prevalence of body image dissatisfaction? Or do we all really want, deep down in our reptile brains, to be desirable and Madison Avenue works with that?
When I look at the Willendorf Venus, I have to say that skinny wasn't always sexy.
I've never believed that weight is under conscious control any more than height is. Who would suggest to a person of small stature that they would be taller if they had sufficient moral rectitude?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
