Being clean, groomed, and neat is important...but physical features not so much and unfortunately a lot of judgement gets passed on that too. Why? Because our society and culture is becoming more and more shallow and superficial. Everything from hair styles, fashion, body shape and size, and so on is constantly under the microscope...and our media (and marketing) has a lot to do with fueling people's attitudes by placing too much focus in that direction. Add the fact that humans can be arrogant and even many times mean spirited...that's where the problem originates.

@indyjoe Very sad but very true. I think we should all accept each other for who we are instead of being in a fixed mould.
@indyjoe @SW-User If you look at fashion, not just clothing, but hair and makeup and every facet of presentation of self, through the centuries, you will see, way back when the only medium was newspapers...no, even back when the only news carriers were merchants travelling from country to country, personal appearance and fashion was very important and people would literally torture their bodies to look good, as dictated by men, mostly.
These are but a few of the ways people presented themselves, according to what was expected of them. True, mostly it was the wealthy and high society, who got into this, but that's because the common people were too poor to dress up
Individuals seeking to lose weight are constantly confronted with a variety of diets, supplements, and weight-loss regimens to choose from. Whether in magazines, on television or on the Internet, the consumer can be bombarded with any number of advertisements that claim to offer them the opportunity to lose weight with their products. However, individuals need to be cautious and well-informed when considering what products to use, as certain weight-loss marketing claims are not only misleading but also potentially detrimental to your health. The use of tapeworms for weight-loss purposes illustrates this risk.
