"Will my daughter compare herself to these things without knowing they aren't real and go insane..." This is already the case today with airbrushed and photoshopped models in media and ads. It's more a question of education than of an issue in the real world. Teach her not to give a f*k about what others say, that is the most valuable lesson.

Humans are social and emotional beings first before they ever become rational. The "illusory truth effect" still affects people, if you see or hear a lie long enough you start believe it unconsciously.

It's basically how advertising works, familiarity over rationality.

So I don't think education is enough.

That is such a non-answer. It's like saying "guns don't kill people, other people kill people". Yes. Also, unhelpful and pretentious.
