is thinner better?

It seems like everytime I turn on the tv, or flip through the pages of my favorite fashion magazine I seem to compare myself to the sizes of those in the ads! I can't even help it anymore, it seems so subconcious. I understand why models modeling clothes need to be small, sample sizes are little! But what I don't understand is why the girls in the McDonalds commercial need to be petite. Clearly people who eat their food all the time will become anything but, so it makes you wonder if there is a subliminal message in the commercials.
I'm not sure what kind of advertising scheme it is, but for americans today obesity is a real issue and it is amazing that companies can lie to the public in such an obvious way. So, long story short I found myself at McDonalds the other day, craving some fries that defenitely had been fried in oil a good week old. And I knew it was unhealthy, but I just couldn't help it, if the people on tv can do it, why can't i?

Is Macys being unethical?

Being from the north, I have practicly been shopping at Macys since I came out of the womb. I like to think of it as its own amusement park. It took me years to cover the entire NYC Macys, but its been done. But I dont need to travel to NYC to get a thrill. So I was in my local Macys when I was up at the register, and to my shock there was chocolate and waters at the counter- but not just any chocolate, Godiva chocolate, and not just any water, MACYS water. Now this is just mean! What women can refuse chocolate especially after waiting in a line for an hour. We're tired and we need the caffeiene, and were thirsty and we need the water. Now I'm beginning to think they made me wait in line so long just so I'd buy it! That is so wrong, but so right at the time because I really needed it!
