After all the serious (and exceptional) comment above, I'm a bit leery of trying to hit a slightly lighter note, but here we go:

This is to illustrate the title of the diary: what's consumable? what do we actually buy? The body can be sold, and can be used to sell (other products). Is it the "promise" of an access to that body which you buy when you buy that product? If that's what advertising is suggesting, what's the responsibility of that sector in perpetuating the mindsets and stereotypes that then generate, or at least make posssible and "normal" the abusive behaviors we've discussed?

Or can bodies be enjoyed by simply looking?

Sorry about that, the picture seems to have disappeared from the server. I won't be able to correct this before tonight. Will repost it then.

Strnagely enough, I can see the picture on my Mac, but here's a new version (hopefully also visible on PCs):
