The Babies Are Too Fat! …. really?

For shame Parenting magazine! Isn’t it bad enough that teenage girls have inferiority complexes over the bodies?  Now, you have to get the babies in on the anorexia movement too?

Ok…that may sound extreme, but this is just a story that will not go away.

You thought France was crazy because of the photoshoped pictures in advertising? Well, moms have lit up the blogosphere over Parenting magazine having altered a baby’s picture because of some baby fat on the arms and cheeks.

Are you kidding me?!

Babies are fat! They are cute, and chubby and a delight to hold. They are supposed to be that way. But this magazine seems to want to put the newest generation in a fat farm.

The story came to light in a new BBC documentary, “My Supermodel Baby.” (Soon to be shown in the states with the new title “My Parents Gave Me a Tapeworm for Weight Control Mates”.)

Are the clothes wrinkled? Adjust them. Lighting bad? Correct it? Baby has one too many dimples? For god sakes don’t erase it.

It would seem that the good crazy people who run the media will go to any length to be sure all breathing people can fit into the sample sizes at any age.
