“Never Just Pictures” essay<\/a><\/p>\n RECENT QUOTES<\/strong> Nearly 50 percent of American girls in middle and high school say they want to lose weight because of magazine pictures. (Quoted in “Altered photos harm consumers, should come with disclaimer”, February 2, 2010)<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the things I advocate is that we should be teaching media literacy in the schools,\u201d said Jean Kilbourne. \u201cKids should be learning early on that these images are not real.

There is good evidence already that exposure to these unhealthy According to statistics posted by the National Institute on Media and the Family, by age 13,\u00a0 some 53 percent\u00a0of American girls are unhappy with their bodies; that figure grows to 78 percent\u00a0by the time girls reach 17.\u00a0In another study on fifth graders, 10-year-old girls and boys told Media Smart’s New Body Image Curricula (UK) Dove Soap Campaign for…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[175],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11607","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-body-image"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11607"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36475,"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11607\/revisions\/36475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frankwbaker.com\/mlc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
