In this blog I hope to track my adventures in fitness, food justice, gardening and body acceptance. I will do so with a critical eye--examining how anti-fat bias, economics, class, sexism, urban (suburban and rural) development deprives us of satisfying movement, and how health is collective and personal.

Photoshop Disasters: Broken Elbow Edition
Seriously, people? Seriously? I do love how Shakesville and Jezebel have been calling out the over-use of photoshop in marketing and media to give us "unreal images." Every image is photoshopped that is put in a glossy magazine, catalogue or high-end website. So, every once and a while we find these totally ridiculous mistakes (like the above dislocated elbow). Her legs look a little funky as well--right below the knee on her left leg--notice that non-knee like curve. Ugh. I understand washing out a pimple, but beyond that I find photoshop abuse to be a social plague.
I feel if we are moving to High Definition TV. Also, the desire for " reality ' tv shows. We should also be demanding true life photography.
