seeing through the cellulite

In harmony with our class discussion today, note the fabulous website --Jezebel--as it discusses the future of Star magazine with its new editor. In assessing the already awful quality of the gossip mag, note the edition 4th down: "March 2, 2011: "Stars Lose Fight With Cellulite." When the gossip is slow, Star hauls out a cellulite or "worst" bodies issue. The truth is that the "worst" body is one that is diseased or dying or in pain. If a woman can put on shorts or a swimsuit and enjoy some fun in the sun, then her body is working just fine. Cellulite occurs in 80 to 90% of postpubertal females — be they fat or thin — and is not considered a medical condition. Doctors from prestigious institutions agree that there is no cure. So Star can kiss our dimpled asses."
