I think the video is interesting because the interviews in which she asked women to use a word or two to describe their bodies, and all but one gave disparaging terms. It shows how strongly influenced woman around the world are by media images of women's body. (I think Taryn is in Australia.) This is the other side of the Sports Illustrated/Vogue type photos some are so fond of.
