Though, we think that women and men are equal in the society, they have different images. When we think of a man, we think about a masculine character and when we think about a female, we think about a character that is thin and beautiful. Weight is the main problem for the women in the world, and they try to get rid of this problem at any cost. As a result, many women in this world are suffering from the eating disorders. They do not care about themselves, but they care what they look. Most of the women at present look at the nutritional guide before they eat anything. All the things that are low calorie and low fats are consumed more nowadays. Parents start to control the weight of a child immediately after the child's birth. They start giving low calorie food. It is better sometimes to give low calorie food, but sometimes it may be a real problem. Children learn to control their weight first from their parents and then from the society.
My Uncle owes a subway restaurant and I go their often. The majority of the customer there are fat women. In the media it is advertised that if you eat subway food, you will lose your weight. As a result, most of the customers go there to lose their weight. I have noticed that all most all customer ask for the nutritional guide book before they eat.

this photo to me is good. i use to work at subway and all the time girls would come in 3 times a day and eat to maintain thier weight. extra cheese doesn't help. the things with subway is yeah they have healthy food but not when you get doritos and a giant soda.. young girls are way concerned about weight. all ages. all and all though i think this message is so true about the media showing you one thing because they want to hide the other. such as oh heres a thin girl and she gets all the attention so don't be fat or you're a loser... basically
This is a great example to me of how media can persuade people to do anything basically. In the media we have this vision of beauty being a size 0 and so skinny you’re starving yourself and this picture demonstrates that. Subway is known for having Jared losing over 200 pounds by just eating subway sandwiches for every meal so when teenage girls see this they think if Jared can lose weight we can lose weight and they rush to subway to eat low carb food. This in the long run is not healthy because teenage girls do not need to be skinny wear they are starving themselves. The media shouldn’t define beauty with weight, because they should enjoy life and not be worrying what you eat and about their weight.
Kids worrying about controlling their weight is an extremely horrible concept. Kids need to grow thinking they are beautiful no matter what they look like. Kids who grow thinking they are beautiful becasue they get positive reinforcement from others have more confidence. Its terrible that kids worry more about how they look then what flavor ice cream is going to be the best. To these paretns, instead of feeding them low calorie food, have them do physical activities like sports. In the long run, exercise and self confidence will go much farther then eating low calorie food and drinking diet coke.
I think that this picture and its meaning is very true. I go to subway alot. I opt to eat there instead of fast food places like mcdonalds and burger king because its fast food that is good for you. Its absolutely true that a lot of women feel guilty when they eat something unhealthy or fattening. Its all because the media trys to tell women that they should be thin, and most of the time they succeed in convincing them so. Though i think subway is a good place because it is for the most part healthier than greasy burger joints, there is nothing wrong with girls eating that food. who cares?! Eat what you want, everything is fine in moderation right?
