Katie Couric teams up with Tyra Banks to tackle body size bullying

Bullying has become increasingly prevalent in our social media-seduced society, with everyone from kids to teens to adults posting cruel remarks on Facebook and tweeting taunts. On her Oct. 16 show, Katie Couric teamed up with other courageous women, including supermodel Tyra Banks and TV anchor Jennifer Livingston, to challenge this trend and discuss ways to fight back.

Wisconsin TV anchor Jennifer Livingston attracted national attention when she challenged a male viewer who criticized her weight. Her on-air editorial included an acknowledgement that she is overweight, making the point that others had come to her defense against the bully. A fat loss overview can help you establish a clear summarize of what you demand to focus on to carry out your fat burning purpose if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more advance phase of their losing weight plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as methods for your own weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss plans have fooled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by leading to a person's body to reduce more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. "We are better than this email. We are better than the bullies that will try to take us down," she said to her defenders. Tyra Banks had to deal with body size bullies as well throughout her career when she initially attempted to succeed with her curvy figure in a fashion modeling field that worships size zero. In addition to discussing these issues, Katie discussed the increasing tendency toward cruelty towards celebrities on Twitter, where people feel "safe" tweeting unkind remarks.

So what do you think? Are you cruel - or kind? Katie has posted a quiz on her site that asks the question: "Are you cruel, mean or nice?" Find out the answer by clicking here. And the next time you're tempting to tease someone about her appearance, consider this memorable quote from Tyra Banks: "Perfect is boring."
