    The pressure was on again Patrick was receiving several complaints about the waste management plant. Residents from the area blamed the plant for their headaches and respiratory illnesses of their children. As Patrick reviewed the research there wasn’t anything relating the waste plant to the problems being experienced in the community. The residents contacted the media, and the Ministry of Health, and had now organized a March to coincide with a visit to the area by the Prime Minister.     Patrick called the managers to a meeting.

    With more than a third of American children and adolescents overweight, you would think that Mattel’s slender Barbie doll would be a good role model for little girls. Not so, according to some critics. If Barbie was a real woman, she would have less than 17 percent body fat, a neck too thin to hold her head up, a waist too small to house a full liver and intestines, and ankles and feet too tiny to walk. One group of researchers estimated the likelihood of a woman having Barbie’s body at one in 100,000. Yet some women strive for impossible bodies, with more than 20 million suffering from eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Other research has shown that 40 to 60 percent of preadolescent girls are concerned about their weight, and almost 70 percent of elementary-age girls who read magazines say the pictures of thin models influence their perceptions of an ideal weight. Statistics like these cause consumer advocacy groups such as the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood…
