Stephanie Naumoska, a 19-year-old Miss Australia finalist, drew out critics who said the model’s emaciated look was a danger to herself and those looking to emulate the bony beauty.
“These girls start to believe that thin is in,” psychologist Jeff Gardere told The Today Show on Friday. He added that the success and glamorization of those with the ultra-bony look would likely have a negative trickle down effect in the form of young girls adopting eating disorders to emulate the look.
Sashaying her 31-25-35 figure across the stage, Naumoska’s gaunt physique — at 5 feet, 10 inches and weighing 105 ponds — horrified some spectators in attendance. Her body mass index, at 15.8, is substantially less than the 18 score she would need to be considered malnourished.
I think Krauthammer has hit the nail on the head when it comes to healthcare funding. Where is the $$$ going to come from to fund Univeral Healthcare? We are already sucking up how many trillions?
When asked in his March 24 news conference about the huge debt he’s incurring, Obama spoke vaguely of “additional adjustments” that will be unfolding in future budgets.
Rarely have two more anodyne words carried such import. “Additional adjustments” equals major cuts in Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid.
Be afraid, be very afraid. As Mr Krauthammer points out, rationing healthcare is nothing new.
We already ration kidneys and hearts for transplant according to survivability criteria as well as by queuing. A nationalized health insurance system would ration everything from MRIs to intensive care by a myriad of similar criteria.
Born in New York, Krauthammer was raised in Montreal, where he attended McGill University and majored in political science and economics. He later attended Oxford University and Harvard Medical School, and worked as a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital from 1975 to 1978. The man has the credentials to speak. The question is, who is listening?
Question #2 is who runs the system? Verification on a nationalization using the single payor system, look no further…
A little red brown hair dye and some tweezing merge the visual with the inner beauty…I call it sprucing up.
