Did you also know that 40%-50% of women in the U.S. are trying to lose weight at any given time? Also, about 53% of 13-year-olds are not happy with their bodies. The part that horrifies us the most is that 10% of girls suffer from eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia.  All these things are happening to girls and women right now and we didn't even know it.
