University of Arizona Campus Health Service Presents: "Love Your Body Day"

Hmmm . . . . a former Miss America talking about loving your body. Well, that's one way to draw a crowd. She looked pretty skinny here when she won the title in 2008, which is not my idea of a healthy body. Maybe she will talk about the destructive nature of beauty pageants on female body image?

One of the sponsors is Sierra Tucson, an in-patient treatment facility that works with eating disorders, among many other things.
