Actress Candace Cameron Bure sat down for an interview with Fox News Digital where she opened up about a new trend in Hollywood.
Having released 100 Days of Joy and Strength: A Daily Devotional Journey, she discussed recent fads, "It can be scary, although I feel like this younger generation has already had so much more body positivity that I hope they understand that it's a trend. I think of my daughter, and she just doesn't have the same viewpoint of body image that I did growing up, and especially as a child of the ‘80s and ’90s. It's like mine's all messed up. I am middle-aged, and I still have all of these thoughts as to the perfect body and this and that, and it's troubling."
She continued, "Yet my daughter and her friends and all of that have way less, they don't think about bodies like that. So I hope that they do understand that it's a trend. But yeah, it does freak me out. It makes me sad to see everyone suddenly becoming skinny because I think it's very triggering for a lot of people our age that grew up in the ‘80s and ’90s. It was the ‘Kate Moss era’ and you're like, ‘Oh, this is what we have to be attractive.’"
Reflecting further, Cameron said, "But we know that's not true. And we also know just to apply it back to biblical principles, that God does not love us more or less dependent upon our weight or our body size or our shape. He doesn't love us or value us anymore or less depending on how we look. He's a God of the heart that judges the heart, and it's all about who we are on the inside. And that is where I will continually go back to. No matter how the culture changes in terms of diet and what fad and what body type is in, I know that God loves me for who I am and my heart and doesn't pay attention to the exterior and places no value in it whatsoever."
