Rachael Leigh Cook Gets Real About Airbrushing

Rachael Leigh Cook, sensational celebrity actress and model, doesn't agree with airbrushing.  She supports "real" beauty, especially in light of how young women are affected by the media.  Frankly, that takes major Venusity!

Recently Rachael Lee Cook joined Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis at the 2010 Healthy Media for Youth Summit in Washington DC for The Creative Coalition and the Girl Scouts of the USA.  The summit addressed body image issues for girls.  As a former Girl Scout, I am impressed by their ability to zoom in on current issues to help young women develop healthier perspectives.

Cook told Fox News she thinks it is an absolute travesty that young woman see what the media feeds them, saying, "It breaks my heart to be part of an industry and part of a machine that really pushes out these images and propagates these terrible standards that are false.  Nothing that you see is real, even if you look at what looks like a candid photo of someone, anything cam be done.  It is false advertising and false advertising is a crime, so why isn't this a crime?  I'm just up in arms about it.

Rachael Leigh Cook makes two important points.  First of all, false images of women make young girls try to achieve an impossible and unhealthy standard.  Secondly, false advertising is allowed to run rampant today.  We need to infuse more truth into the media and stop buying into the lies...both literally and figuratively.
