KIM
Dixon, Tiffany Kary and
Dan Maccarone may have issues with their
bodies. But they have much bigger issues
with the corporate manipulation of body
image.
Kim
Dixon says she’s onto the scam about
fat-free frozen yogurt.
Tiffany
Kary says she is still getting over
being perceived as a giant while living
in Japan.
Dan Maccarone says he used to be fat,
but nobody believes the beanpole.
We
were puzzled why women educated about
the trappings of the diet and beauty
industry are still falling prey to the
media’s con. Why is it women feel their
self-worth is tied to the state of their
body?
We
set out to interview a diverse group
of women and experts to give us an up-to-the-minute
report. Here, we provide an insightful
look at the private and pervasive issues
surrounding our bodies.

Columbia University Graduate School
of Journalism.
