"Kirstie Alley Resigns From Jenny Craig"
Comment:
While I think that Queen Latifah's placement as the new spokeswoman for Jenny Craig will create a drastic change in Jenny Craig's image, it will be an excellent way to promote health rather than aesthetics. At the moment, many companies like Jenny Craig are solely associated with weight loss for bettering a person's appearance. Nutrition, however, takes a backseat. The commercials do not emphasize how many people have lowered their cholesterol through dieting or the benefits of weight loss for diabetes. Most weight loss commercials focus on the new attention and body confidence that comes with weight loss. I applaud Jenny Craig for going against the societal norm, and promoting h

When I first came upon your blog, I was disappointed to see that there was yet another blog that exists simply to show pictures of thin celebrities. However, after reading this post and the post about Catherine Zeta Jones not having an eating disorder from October 31st, I have gained respect for your blog. As a blogger, you have the ability to influence how people think about body image, beauty, and celebrities. I look forward to reading your blog in the future, and hope that there are more posts that are open to the idea of health and beauty in less conventional forms.

While I believe that this post was created to be funny, I think that as a blogger it is important to remember the influence your website has on people. The South Carolina Department of Mental Health estimates that about 8 million Americans have eating disorders. This number is outrageous and most likely impacted by the media's focus on thinness. Weight is a widely covered issue in American media, yet inaccurate information about weight loss is quite prevalent. The message that abstaining from eating in order to look beautiful needs to stop immediately.

Your Intro paragraph Is well set up and very easy to read, you mentioned what you talked about on your previous entry and what you will discuss in this current post. I clearly saw your stance of disapproval about how bloggers supported the media's obsession on being "skinny" rather than being healthy. You also provided links within your intro to the two post that you were commenting on , which is a help to the reader. Your pictures capture the essence of your topic and does not leave the reader guessing as to what you will be discussing.
In your first comment your opinion is good here, but I do not see any evidence that states that Jenny Craig is "going against the societal norm, and promoting health rather than skinniness." If by you mean by not having a skinny woman as a spokeswoman as a change from the norm than you do have a point, but where does Jenny Craig say that? Also, I find it a little difficult to read and except comments that are in an instant messaging format to be scholarly and from a creditable source.
As for your second comment, I really feel that It is up in the air to suggest what the author of the blog meant by "Weight Loss Made Easy", however, your opinion is a valid one that malnourished people is not the goal, but health eating is with good nutrition. Although, it would be a great advocate to provide healthy statistics about how not eating desserts could be more healthier for you and the benefits of not eating everything or finishing your plate of food is wise in developing self control. If other bloggers are not willing to provide the information about the healthy way, than it is up to you, right?
