Illustration Paragraph
Many people become obsessed with appearance. For example, anorexia and bulimia has become a major problem. I personally know a very large number of people who have had an eating disorder at one time. I continue to find out that long time friends of mine have had eating disorders as well. Another example is the people we know as stars. Famous people almost always look good, and it seems obvious that people like the more attractive famous people more than the less fortunate. Some stars even have insurance on specific features such as legs. My personal feelings are that people value looks over many things such as personality, or talent in a star’s situation, and that shouldn’t be.
