Is beauty just "appearance" that hides a deeper "reality"
Is beauty in the eye of the beholder (subjective) or out there in the world? (objective)
How does the modern fitness industry influence standards of beauty?
How closely are physical fitness, evolution and natural beauty tied to one another?
Can obsessive pursuit of (external) beauty via extreme forms of fitness make us (internally) ugly?
