Plus-Sized Models

I am over the debate about plus-sized models (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26042579-5007146,00.html). They look amazing. Healthy, sexy and so happy. Yet people (mainly women) are ripping them apart. "Yes it's good that were getting away from the sticks, but idolising the 'obese' is wrong."

OBESE...give me a break...if you have to lift your belly apron to find your bits, your obese. If you can't breath after a trip from your bed to the loo, your obese.

Anyone remember this little goddess?

This women was idolised before junk food, inactive lifestyle and TV turned curvy into obese. And I'm sure she did a shit more than thirty minutes of exercise a day and ate more than the recommended serves of fruit and vegetables and less red meat.

And I know more than enough people in the "health range" that are extremely unhealthy...body image is not about health...a healthy body (what ever size and shape) is.

Half the time the 'plus-sized' model isn't plus-sized at all - she's just bigger than the super-skinny model usually appearing on catwalks!

Too thin is bad and too fat is just as bad. How about they start using models that suit the average population, which isn't a size 6! More like a 12-14!
