[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think glorifying morbidly obese is any better than glorifying super skinny.  Neither is healthy.  But I also don't believe in tearing people down because of their weight.  Tess seems like a wonderful person and if she is happy, who am I to judge. [/quote]

Her doctor should be judging her. Just because she "seems like a wonderful person" and "says" she is happy, does not make her a hero.[/quote]

Is she calling herself a freakin' hero?  Or did she just dare to grace the front cover of a magazine?  I say good for her.

FWIW, no teenage girl is going to start porking out just because Tess is comfortable with herself. But maybe it will inspire some girls to be less bitchy about weight and body image.  That would be nice.[/quote]

The discussion point, which has obviously gone over your head, is whether or not People magazine (or any other pub for that matter) should be glorifying obesity. My answer to that is no. And by putting Tess on the cover, and giving her message of "fat acceptance" legs, they are doing that in some small fashion.[/quote]
Don't worry, they'll be back to glorifying skinny, botoxed women next week and all the fatties will be put back in their place[/quote]
