brightrosefoxAnother report from the Wall Street Journal: Asian women are jumping on the weight-loss bandwagon. But they don't want to go to the gym. They want to go to the pharmacy.
Several women in Asian countries said that they want to be "thinner, but not muscular like American women". They want to be slim and streamlined without "looking like Demi Moore."
Wait...aren't Asian women typically already slim and streamlined without being muscular? You mean you're five-five, 116 pounds, and you want to slim down but you don't want to add muscle? *blinkblink*
Now my head hurts. Sooner or later, it's going to shoot straight overseas. American women are already struggling to emulate the sleek, slender Asian body, and the Asian women want more of what they already have, and then it's going to all mix, and Americans will stop going to the gym and stop lifting weights and fill up on diet pills, slimming gels, and drugs even more than they are now... *methodically tears out hair*
The world is so fucked up. I want to leave.
