[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people in this thread would stop denying that America has a weight problem. ALL of America, not just the rural areas. [b]The typical high school girl today would be considered fat in the 90s.[/b] [/quote] So freaking true! [/quote] My kids go to one of the $$$ k12 area schools. There aren’t a lot of heavy kids in the lower grades, but there are a sizable number of “thick” girls in upper school. When I was in (low col public) high school, I can think of a handful of girls who were chubby. It seems much more prevalent now. This is not a upper/lower class thing. It’s accepted to be heavier today. These girls are also wearing clothes that I would be so self conscious to wear if I were their size, but they seem perfectly comfortable in short, tight clothing.
