[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's on there because she's a story, not because she's a role model.  It isn't Women's Health.[/quote]

The story is about how she is a hero and role model for fat acceptance. Her cause is called "Eff your beauty standards" So the story is about her being a role model....[/quote]

People isn't saying they condone her lifestyle.  They have murderers on the cover sometimes!  She's making news, we're talking about her, she's a person, so she's on the cover of People.  I don't see it as a big deal.[/quote]

They don't call murders they put on their covers role models though. You are really missing the point of the OPs question.[/quote]

I'm not, though.   Nowhere do they call her lifestyle a model one.  Her mentality?  Confidence and anti-discrimination?  Sure.  But nowhere does it say others should strive to look like her, and reading that into it is really a stretch.

Again, she's on there because she's a story.  When she's on the cover of [i]Fitness[/i], it's an issue.[/quote]
