People are part of nature

People are part of nature, but society has warped people.

“'Jamie said, ‘Baby,’' Butcher recalled, 'and I thought he was going to say, ‘We love you, but you need help.’ But what he said was ‘You’re fat. Daddy’s gonna get you on a diet and a trainer, and you’re gonna get back in shape.’ ' Butcher felt sick. Jamie pointed at the TV and said, 'You see that TV over there? You know what it’s going to say in eight weeks? That’s gonna be you on there, and they’re gonna say, ‘She’s back.'"

A little memory floats up of taking a dance class in the early '00s in Virginia, when I occasionally visited the McLean Racquet and Health Club as a guest (but I think the dance instructor probably worked for the city or the county and not for the health club.) My memory is that this young and extremely skilled instructor had many years of dance experience in her background, inhabited a body which was bigger than mine (at the time), displayed a fierce attitude which honestly scared me a bit, and absolutely loved Britney Spears.
