Thanks so much for posting this and being absolutely blunt about where the picture was altered. I can no longer stomach mass-market media for the very reason you point out in the altered picture. Size is one of the most clear alterations but the reality is that it is not inches that are shaved off but anything that makes people look human rather that plastic mannequins. My 9 yr. old son worries about being fat - this the kid who is in perpetual motion and I have to buy everything in slim sizes already because he is very wiry build.
We are leaving a very sick legacy to the next generation if we don't expose this cult continuously!
