[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The end of an institution. Sad that SI has caved to this sort of pandering.

I'm a straight woman and find this revolting. I have an obese son, who struggles with thyroid issues as well as my family's endocrine issues. I know the pain and health issues he's suffered over the years due to his obesity. It should not be celebrated.[/quote]

I agree.

Size 16 is not a healthy weight.

[b]With the obesity epidemic in this country, we should not be normalizing a size 16 as a desireable body[/b].[/quote]

But we've been normalizing and celebrating size 00 for years. Why is it only disgusting and pandering only on one side of the BMI scale?

A lot of suffering comes from trying to fit an unrealistic (and equally unhealthy) body "ideal". [/quote]

Excuse me, I'm a size 00 and am perfectly healthy, thank you. Asian and fine-boned will give you those kinds of sizes, with enough fat to add curves into the bargain. My friend is Irish and has the same size, it's not just Asians!

It's bad enough that I can barely find any clothes to fit me in this country without looking like a teenager - I don't need ignorant idiots like you blathering that size 00 is disgusting, pandering, unrealistic and unhealthy. All wrong on all 4 counts! You're moronic.
