Growth Industry? Everything is Apparently!

I was just watching this show called Shark Tank and man is it brutal!  There are these five different entrepreneurs who are self made multi-millionaires in their respective fields of expertise and they either were partners in a company that went public and then sold for a big load of money, or they invented a product and then it made profit. Different people, with different ideas come in and stand in front of them and pitch their product to the five "judges" and then the "judges" decide if they want to invest their money in the proposed offer. More often than not, the "judges" turn it down, even though most of them were pretty good ideas. I do not really understand most of what the "judges" are saying or even thinking because most of the pitched ideas are very good and very helpful. Like for instance an antioxidant powder to help prevent disease for animals and help them live longer, or a retail clothing company focusing on just plus sized women. Those two ideas alone are pretty awesome and should have been taken more into consideration instead of being turned down right away. In this nation, people grasp onto anything to make them feel good about themselves, especially in this economy, and we need as much help as we can get, some people moreso than others. This nation doesn't make a whole lot of sense when it comes to what is fashionable and what is not. I do not understand why the media and marketing only focus on women or men that are rare. The average woman is a size 12 and up, that is just how it is, and that is considered a "real woman" and I will wholeheartedly agree with that. Women like Shakira and Jessica Alba never eat, and work out all the time, and thats the only reason why they look the way they do. They think they have so much pressure on them to look a certain way that they do not have fun, do not eat awesome food or do anything awesome at all because they're focusing on their career and their figure to realize that they're not really living. To me that is a travesty because women should look healthy, they should eat well, take care of themselves and look good and any woman can look good even though they're considered bigger than society standards say they're supposed to which is a load of crap because there is no rulebook that tells you what you should look like, only what they (the powers that be) think sells. As far as guys go, we watch football, eat pizza, and drink beer and do manual labor jobs, and we are proud of it. We don't look like Calvin Klein models, we are real men, women that only go for the men on television have issues because they should realize that those men on the television represent only point one (.01) percent of the world and the male gender. With that being said, I'm a real man, I am fashionable and do not need the powers that be telling me what to buy or what to wear or how to act, I will do whatever I want and when I want to do it and will wear, eat and sleep whenever I want and I would expect the same in the women I date as well. Hope someone agrees with me here. Society is fake and we are all brainwashed into thinking a certain way and that's a travesty because a lot of good people are turned down and dragged away when they are the ones we should be looking at to model our lives after. I said my piece and now I am saying Peace!
