[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The woman in the picture is certainly thinner than I am (but that's not saying much). However, I think compared to the average model/actress today, she'd be called plus-sized. So, while the average American is much fatter than they used to be, the commercial ideal is now much thinner than it used to be.[/quote] I think that model is likely more representative of what "most" women looked like then, weight wise. She was "realistic" for the time. Now, most models are MUCH thinner than what "most" women look like---most women today don't feel they could realistically be the same size as the average model. This is both because models are thinner, but also the average woman is fatter.[/quote]
