Yeah maybe, but the problem is when that skinny 14 year old girl decides that
she is not skinny enough-then you really have a problem. Being obese is
obviously not healthy, but neither is being TOO thin. There has to be a
balance. Being the mother of teenage girls, one of whom has always had a
"Body Image" problem even though she has a beautiful figure I can tell you
that the specter of anorexia looms in my life in a frightening way.

Not that this really has anything to do with singing, but as with most things
in life this topic screams for "moderation in all things."

Enough said.
