Final web-essay

I want to create a web-essay about the diet market that influences the beauty myth. This appeals to me because I have a large amount of knowledge on nutrition and fitness, but after this class I have learned how these things associate with the world as success goals. People do not work out and eat healthy necessarily for their health. But most of the people that follow the diet industry do so to be considered beautiful for sexual appeal. Somewhere along the way, people started believing the media that thin is pretty. America is the largest followers of the diet market. Other areas of the world have different views of what beauty means. But in America, the common concept of fitness is not for health, but it is for beauty. This is where the beauty myth comes in. Our class has followed the different beauty myths that people live by. I want to approach magazines such as Shape and Self, along with diet programs such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem and more. I want to research the information that these programs and guides provide with people that are trying to lose weigh. I also want to research the common tips given for fitness. And I want to research the diet market profit from national records. This appeals to me because I read all of these magazines, but do not follow the advice that helps guide healthy living.
