Good spirals. :-) And I did make it through that first part and understand what you said. I've only been a casual reader/observer of the size acceptance advocates, and that's just what sticks out to me.
And, in my opinion, it's getting worse as we become even more plugged in, more connected all day (and night) every day to technology *designed* to keep us in contact with those messages.
If you think about it, it becomes well worth it to pay for your media in a way to receive no ads.
we talk less with our family and friends and rely more and more on what the media tells us is normal.
To spiral it a little further, I've been thinking about how much people are drawn to blogging and social networking like facebook. To take it back to the way that our living spaces are shaped (and everything goes back to that, in my world) we don't have the kind of casual social contact that we once did. So we reach out online, create connections in a "safe" way, feel this craving for nostalgia.

Very interesting points.
