Webpages for you to visit

In this section I have prepared 4 web pages for you to visit to enrich you with more information about my topic:

First:

http://www.obesityaction.org/educational-resources/resource-articles-2/weight-bias/fattertainment-obesity-in-the-media

This webpages has a lot of useful information about how obesity is portrayed in the media and it will also provide you with several movie titles, which are critical towards obese/overweight people.
The webpage also adresses topics such as reasons why is criticizing of overweight in the media so common and what is the effect of "fattertainment" on our society.

Second:

http://www.weightlosshelpdirectory.com/media-infuences.html

The webpage explains in detail how are the children influenced by the various media and what dangers are there that parents should know about. Also, it explains that children under certain age have no knowledge about the economic aspect of television/media and that therefore they have difficulty to distinguish between what is an advertisement and what is a TV show. Further, the website gives some simple tips for parents to minimize media advertising's great impact.


Third:

http://www.raderprograms.com/causes-statistics/media-eating-disorders.html

This website will provide you with a great amount of statistics/surveys and an interesting introduction. The article is mostly connected to young girls and I personally found the majority of information shocking.



And the last (additional) one: 

http://elitedaily.com/news/world/abercrombie-fitch-ceo-explains-why-he-hates-fat-chicks/

The website above is not directly connected to the impact of the media on weight problems, but it is surely connected to overweight adolescents; to the portrayal of the obese people in our society and to how the body image created by the media affects the fashion industry. I am offering this website to you only to inform you about this recent article.
