Suprisingly, high heels are bad for your feet

This may not be a huge feminist issue of the decade, but I found it extremely comical and sad that “wearing high heels” made this msn health topics list of “Suprising” Unhealthy Habits. Not that the rest of the list is exactly rocket science, but this one is just amazing.  I wonder if they actually believe women wear high heels for their health benefits. Or, may be its a ‘guilty pleasure’ of ours. Or may be its just a ‘habit:’ see, I put them on once in the seventh grade, and then just forgot to take them off. Ooops. But now it turns out they are unhealthy, too! And here we all thought that debilitating cramping pain at the end of the day was just nature’s way of saying “way to go!”

Turns out all that high heel therapy I’ve been doing is all for naught..
