November 16, 2014 Celebrities and their Bass Now we all heard that song by Meghan Trainor “All About That Bass” and I’m pretty sure just by me mentioning the title everyone is singing it in their heads. “All About That Bass” is supposed to be a song about not worrying about your weight. One of the most famous lyrics in the song are. “Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top”(Trainor). Those words definitely popped a smile on our faces. So since that song is a top charted song, why does it have people trying to destroy it? Sure that there are going to be “haters” just because it’s ranked extremely high, but why do such a thing? That song was about and for the overweight. The lyrics are trying to convey a positive message, yet people are still hating it and trying to prove ways to destroy a beautiful piece of music. Obesity has been a serious issue in the U.S.A.

Are we easy targets like Daily and Ellin say so? Now that being overweight is so common why do people still say that it’s not? If what Daily and Ellin say is true that sixty-six percent of adults are overweight doesn’t that make us the average? So isn’t the average man overweight then? We can look up to celebrities, but that is a personal choice. We can do what we want without weight. If you want to cut a couple of pounds go right on ahead. It can be for health benefits, training, or even for the opposite sex (I meant that for heterosexuals). The whole idea is that you shouldn’t care what others say except yourself about your weight. Celebrity culture does play a big role in how we all look at ourselves, but remember what the standard body figure is
