Reality v. Self-Esteem
"X% of the American population is overweight! Much higher than 10 years ago!"
(They don't tell you that the standards for "overweight" changed shifting a bunch of people that weren't overweight before into the "overweight" column)
"All these models depicting an unrealistic standard of 'beauty' is unhealthy for women today!"
I give up. Make up your friggin' minds. It's okay to be fat... it's not okay to be fat...
I'm still pissed they screwed up my movie popcorn.

I agree MD, they aren't obese. But they aren't the bodies of "typical models" in ads.Not sure how that picture translated into the huge indignation focused upon the obese. Those looked like normal healthy women to me. Don't believe the ad is in anyway advocating obesity.
I like a little variety myself.
