Hunger

As I presented in the lecture when I read and ready for the book of 'Unbearable Weight' by Susan Bordo, It seems really shocked to me about the facts.
There are several parts to read about this book. However, I realized woman care about so much as the example of a television commercial in the first part on hunger as ideology. This examples of cultural ideals about woman and food. The commercial is two little girls are shown dressing up in the feathery finery of their mother's clothes. This is show as restraint in food is seem as feminine. And it feeding other is seen as a lofty feminine pursuit, that indulgence in food is framed in sexual metaphor, and that men can eat and be loved while women are seen as turning to food as a substitute for love. Food as transgression only for western culture? As we discuss in class, it world wide concern on all women. In my opinion, most of western people of the hunger is not important to them. However, their weight and health and beauty are pretty import for them especially women. Interestedly, Susan make point the feminine and care about food not only western women but also black, asian, and hispanic women were involved.
