Thread Name: BS: Corporate child abuse
Subject: RE: BS: Corporate child abuse
I quite agree Paul. This whole BMI thing (itself a very crude and misused and misleading calculation) and media-fuelled peer pressure about appearance, image and "size" pushed my own daughter into severe anorexia and related problems which she is still recovering from, which itself resulted in other serious family pressures. It is insidious and, unfortunately, still pervasive and it is a form of corporate abuse for profit.
