I loved how blunt Chinese women are (not you) about Western women being fat. They'd poke 'em and say, "oh~!, you're fat."

Most effective way to reduce obesity: fat-inhibiting norms.

I was thinking the same thing. I read an article yesterday that talked about how plus size models are closer to the average weight of an American woman than the really skinny ones. What they fail to mention is that the United States is the fattest any country has ever been in the history of the world.

You can barely say that fat is bad but skinny is good, even though obesity is a health hazard in so many ways, the conversation is likely to end up being about how skinny people can also be unhealthy. And really, some parents I know 'don't have the time' to cook so McDonalds or other fast food suffices. Throw some PC into it, special interests branding targeting children in their infancy, chemical/ingredient manipulations, and constant excusing of any kind of behavior/habits/abuse based on 'you can't judge me'

it's about time to conclude Idiocracy. Yet there are way too many women being responsible out there to lose all hope. I haven't seen any pictures and I don't want to, but my woman has lost over 100 pounds in the last 12 months, and her dedication and hard work is so super sexy all by itself. Luckily all I know is the hot ass version. Perhaps the next generation will be more saturated in the issue than mine is. We generally ripped on phatties. Not me, I never teased anybody. But perhaps now phatties are the majority and maybe skinny boppers look at phatties and aim to get that junk in the trunk and wherever else it might end up.

Or, if anyone saw the movie Branded, maybe when I posted it in it's entirety here as a gift, it actually was the plan of big corporations to sell more food by successfully making fat cool and genetic manipulation as well as social programming. Anytime a normal (oops!) person said 'do you really think you should eat that garbage' the zombie response on a national scale was 'why do you say stupid stuff like that?'

Come on.

Mastered food? That's as far as i read.

Every single thing you can buy in a supermarket in the US has aome kind of poison in it. Some arent as bad and if ypu drink enough water and youre not fat your lucky the body gets rid of it. Many are really causing all the chronic conditions people suffer. Most of thw vegetables and fruit are also posioned woth pesticides.

(Unless you buy everything from that whole food supermarket of course)

Yes, there is an epidemic of obesity, and yes it's extremely unhealthy, but to go to the other extreme is unhealthy too. A 16" waist is every bit as deviant as a 44" waist.

Furthermore, the two may be causally related. After spending their teenage years starving themselves to try to reach the 16" waist and feeling like shit the whole time, girls may just give up and turn into adult women who see the 44" waist as their inescapable fate.

You have male characters that are ultra "buff", nasty guys that look plain "evil" and disgusting, heroes that look "too perfect", BUT.. they are all stereotypes of how men see themselves. The women portrayed, by contrast virtually all have to be thin wasted, buxom, "fair-faced", generally wearking skimpy clothes and high heels etc.

NEWSFLASH, this is NOT the ideal woman!... and that is the REAL point!

And you're missing the point of the thread. My pretty sexist self is angry that women need thus coddling and assurance that they don't need to be really, really skinny to be good looking while men see He-man and instantly know "he's a god damn cartoon". Women want equality, men see this article and go "nope".
