I recently found this thought-provoking poster on Pinterest – which was put together by the NOW Foundation for “Love Your Body Day.”
The image is a tad too small, so I’ll reproduce the text here:
| For the Price of: | You Could Have: |
|---|---|
| breast implant surgery | a year of college tuition |
| a year’s worth of Slim Fast | plane tickets to Europe |
| one month of fake tanning | a one-hour massage |
| a set of salon highlights | two weeks of groceries |
| uncomfortable shoes | gas for a 1,200 mile road trip |
| a pair of designer jeans | a lift ticket at a ski resort |
| a set of acrylic nails | a day at an amusement park |
| a breast-enhancing bra | an afternoon canoe trip |
| 12 fashion magazines | dinner at a nice restaurant |
| another tube of lipstick | a long distance call to a friend |
Please share this widely!
