“You could not presume that people were healthy. You could not presume that they would welcome the little nudges and jostlings of life.

But rather than hungry to be a certain size, shape, or height, rather than hungry to fit the stereotype; women are hungry for basic regard from the culture surrounding them. The 'hungry' one inside is longing to be treated respectfully, to be accepted and in the very least, to be met without stereotyping.” BodyCertainCultureStrongHealingFitHealthyMetsShapesRegardAgreeLongingSizeAcceptedHungryTreatedHeightTeensStereotype Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
