Lots of people like to point the finger at the media and blame them for how distorted body image is. Studies have been conducted on children and what they perceive as healthy. Based on things such as dolls, action heroes and cartoons, even young children have a distorted perception of a healthy body image. The truth is, there is no one-perfect body image. Everyone is built different. What is healthy for you may not be healthy for someone else, however many strive for a “perfect” body.
