Is the "body-acceptance" movement just a marketing strategy for junk food companies?
@SteveJohnson I prefer to see it as a rejection of the diet and beauty industries, but capitalism inevitably commoditizes every form of active resistance to capitalism.
@starbreaker Valid thoughts. But do social movements begin with the masses? Seems like they always begin with a group that has a lot of money to spend on marketing, be it commercial, political, theological.
@starbreaker You've described me exactly, but from California, and no longer with long hair!
@SteveJohnson I can't answer that; I'm not a sociologist.
I'm just some long-haired metalhead from New York with delusions of erudition who dropped out of college, codes for a living, and writes shitty science fantasy on my lunch breaks. :)
