Dara Torres-Amazing

In the age of rampant disordered eating among teenaged female swimmers, do we want to be glorifying pictures of women with low body fat? No, but pictures of women remaining active and healthy way into their 40's? Yes. Don't blame the epidemic of body image on athletes...you are joking right? I'd love to see what an olympic athlete eats on an average day. Body image is less to do with keeping fit and more to do with crappy media glory of virtually impossible 38-22-30. There's really only one reliable way to lose weight, and even then it's not going to tun you into a supermodel: Eat less crap, move about a bit more and stay active. Even if you're big you won't be as big and your internal health will be better. Elise, respectuflly, here and with earlier comments you made, you seem to add support to the "valuation system" for females and how their worth declines as the years and pounds go on,; or they have kids and then should morph into mothers with no life for themselves!
