Fat models make women hate themselves

Sploid reports:

Looking at pictures of moderately heavy models lowered women's self-esteem as much as looking at pictures of extremely thin models, according to a new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research.

In contrast, women's self-esteem tended to rise when they looked at moderately thin or extremely heavy models.

"We demonstrated that exposure to thin models does not necessarily have a negative impact on one's self-esteem," said Dirk Smeesters and Naomi Mandel, two of the study's authors.

In some parts of the country not having fast food joints around would make them depressed.
