No matter the methods, in this celebrity-worshipping, media-saturated age, concentration-camp chic is getting seared into our consciousness like an ahi tuna salad, hold the dressing and the fish.
A 1991 study found 42 percent of first-to third-grade girls wanted to be thinner, while 81 percent of 10-year-olds were afraid of being fat. The data is 15 years old, said Lynn Grefe, executive director of the National Eating Disorders Association, but the aversion to fat has likely only gotten more exaggerated.
''Everybody has been brainwashed. I grew up with me mother talking about Marilyn Monroe, and I thought it was ok to be shapely and curvy,'' Grefe said. ''Young people now are scared of ay fat''
The Devil Wears Prada promotes the issue of the size 0 as Andy the protagonist is the average size and is still considered as being fat. Furthermore the character of Emile who is slim is on the mission of losing more weight for the fashion event being held in Paris and all she eats is salads and lo fat food. However and the end Andy is the one that gets to go on the trip instead of Emile this could suggest that the film is promoting the idea that you don’t need to be a size 0 to achieve success passing the idea onto the audience suggesting that they don’t need to be a size 0 to look great or appealing.
