It’s actually really crazy how much media relates to body image. I’ve been researching it a lot for the project, obviously, and have found some pretty daunting statistics and videos about it. For example, did you know only 4 percent of the female population fit the ideal body weight and appearance most often portrayed in mass media. On top of that, only 2 percent of women consider themselves ‘beautiful’ while a majority of young girls between 10-13 consider themselves ‘overweight’. There’s endless material on film and in scholar articles about the correlation and I’ll actually link some so you can see for yourself.
