9. That's the $64,000 question.

As for early enough we do it by talking to our children when we see examples of it. Call it out for what it is.

That's no guarantee that young girls won't still fall victim to internalizing this crap. At a certain point they move more toward peers than parents, and you just have to hope by that point that you have inoculated them against the conditioning that they won't fall victim to eating disorders, self-esteem issues about their appearance, etc.

I think the much more difficult problem is reaching adults... the fish who have been swimming in it all their lives with hardly any interference with the dominant message. As for how to do that I have no idea, other than to just keep pointing out examples.
