Rodale: Women’s Health Magazine Bans ‘Bikini Body’

Newsweek: A rack full of women’s magazines is like a blur of beautiful bodies, complete with cover lines that yell at passersby about how to attain them. Both the images that appear on the glossy exteriors and the messages they preach have been the subject of scrutiny for years. But Women’s Health magazine has  announced that it will stop using the phrases “bikini body” and “drop two sizes” on its covers. “We want to always empower women, not make them feel bad about themselves.”
