[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty good message here [img]http://www.bohemianmummy.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/tess-munster-203669_w1000.jpg[/img][/quote] Yeah, I roll my eyes at these sort of messages. The model is lovely and very courageous, albeit shortsighted, but the words are empty because they do not apply to obesity. You can love your body but not a life-threatening condition, which obesity is, long-term. The only reason obese models and clothes are coming to the fore is that the overweight/obese population is numerous, so there is a money-making opportunity. Marketers package it under the "acceptance" guise, but that's not what it is really. [/quote] Well even fat people have to wear clothes. So, yes, marketers are going to create ads that make their *clothes* desirable to potential buyers. Middle age spread has been around for a L_O_N_G time. The plus sized dept is nothing new. [/quote]
