[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't know why people are so offended by this thread[/b]? Maybe if people weren't so afraid to discuss this topic there would be more push to put physical education back into our schools. It is obviously needed. [/quote]

Seriously?  You don't see why people might be offended by a thread that literally laments the fact that the bodies of 15 year old girls aren't sufficiently sexually attractive enough to adorn our culture?[/quote]

No one is saying that? Being overweight is unhealthy. This isn't about "attractiveness".[/quote]

From the OP:

[quote]When I was young, teens had flat stomachs and cute hips. We looked good in tight jeans and bikinis.[/quote]

And the fact that we're only talking about teen [i]girls[/i] is revealing (no pun intended).  Yes, it's only the girls who are obligated to be pleasing to society's eye at all times.  We're talking about muffin tops and Daisy Dukes as if that has anything to do with health.

There are ways to discuss childhood obesity without objectifying young women.  This thread ain't it.[/quote]

PP here. Point taken.[/quote]
