I just read from wiki

Weight

Another issue during the show's early seasons concerned the stars' appearances. Lisa Whelchel has stated in various interviews, including on E! True Hollywood Story, that the cast spent a lot of time on set doing nothing, so the natural inclination for many of them was to eat, as food was readily available all over the set. This noticeably affected the girls' appearances, leading[b] Joan Rivers[/b] to dub them "The Fats of Life" during the cast's appearance at the Emmy Awards; the producers eventually restricted what the actors could eat while on set, and in an April 2011 interview, Lisa Whelchel stated that the producers sent her to various weight loss programs in an effort to help her lose weight.

Joan Rivers was a bitch and a notorious fat-shamer.  She also had zero right to criticize anyone's personal appearance.  She had over 700 plastic surgery procedures in her lifetime.

The show was on for almost a decade, so the teen girls hit puberty and became [i]women[/i].  They were all in their 20s when the show ended.  I'm not saying that there wasn't unnecessary snacking and they probably were given a hard time about their weight.  (The actress who plays Tootie was short and had a big bust.)   Except for Natalie was still a little over weight, these women weren't fat:

At least when they look in the mirror, they see their original faces.  So PP, you're the only Miss Piggy here.[/quote]
