After seeing the ad above, I was really pissed off. So, if we eat something that's delicious and decedent, it's understandable if we work out for four hours to counter the calories. Not only is it understandable, it's expected. I don't know about you, but if my friend told me that s/he worked out that long because they ate a sundae, I wouldn't find it understandable or humorous, I'd be concerned. The rest of the site seems to have the same message- women's #1 concern is their bodies and losing weight. The four characters bond over concerns about exercising and food consumption, but not in a way that emphasizes healthfulness, but rather with the motivation of being able to fit into a dress by Friday (as in webisode 9). I understand the website is for lower calorie snacks, so of course that is their emphasis, but I think the way it normalizes an unhealthy relationship with food is concerning. Food intake should not be the center of women's (or men's) lives, yet according to "A Woman's World," that is what being a woman entitles.
