OTH and Anorexia

An episode of One Tree Hill was on the other day. Yes, its a bit cheesy, but it has given some great messages throughout the series. The episode that was on today was showing how different each characters lives had become in the last four years. 

Brooke Davis- who was the "popular girl" and kind of a bitch through high school now had her own clothing line. She was walking through her office looking at their plan for the next months magazine and there was a picture of a size zero girl on the cover. The first thing Brooke said about it was that they needed to change it immediately because "anorexia is a disease not a fashion statement." 

This really made an impact on me because its true. So many girls feel the pressures to look as small as the girls on the fashion magazines because thats what they're shown over and over again. 

As the show goes on I remember Brooke getting a lot of beef for this because she was standing up for what she believed in. Time and time again this happens. It's a shame that there is controversy over something that isn't even that big of a deal.
