[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Context is everything.

I’ve been spending a lot of time recently watching films from my YouTubeTV library, all recorded from TCM - I love old movies and I hate advertising, so it’s my favorite channel.

Having spent so much time the last month or so watching movies from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s - no, Kidman is not too thin. She looks normal in the context of how women used to look.

70% of Americans are overweight or obese. In that context Kidman looks thin, thinner than most of the women we see in our own social circles and communities and even in media given recent shifting norms.

This. I've never been underweight in my life. Yet people have approached me with their "concerns."  Spare me. People no longer have any concept of what a healthy frame looks like because "healthy" is now synonymous with being overweight.

Don't stage an intervention with your thin friends, ok? You wouldn't have an intervention with your obese friends, who have a much more pressing health issue. [/quote]
